While this is being done, citizens are advised to continue to abide by the existing order as security agents will continue to enforce compliance.
The Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Simon Bako Lalong, KSGG, once more thanks all and sundry for standing by the government in these trying times.m”
