The Plateau State Government has threatened to reinstate the total lockdown imposed on the State after it was suspended barely 2 weeks.
This follows the failure of residents in the State to abide by Covid-19 prevention regulations and guidelines, leading to the increasing number of infections in the State.
This warning is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dan Manjang in Jos, the state capital.

Manjang says the Government has it on good authority that some worship centres, markets, motor parks, commercial vehicles including tricycles popularly known as Keke NAPEP are at the forefront of the flagrant violation.
The statement, therefore, warns that Government will not hesitate to restore the lockdown earlier lifted by Governor Simon Bako Lalong as it views with dismay the non-compliance with regards to the wearing of face masks, social distancing, hand washing and the use of sanitisers.
He added that Government does not want to be pushed to taking any decision that will further hurt the people and hereby appeals to all law-abiding citizens of the State to obey the Covid-19 protocols as spelt out by the State in order to curtail the disease and save lives.
