The Federal Government has adjusted the curfew from 10pm to 12 midnight through 4am.
This is a step towards gradually easing the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the country.
National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu, disclosed this on Thursday during a briefing in Abuja.
He however explained that people on essential service and travellers returning from abroad are exempted from the curfew.
“We are modifying the curfew to commence from 12 midnight to 4am nationwide, effective from 12:00 tonight.
“This does not apply to people on essential services and international travellers that might be returning from abroad.”
