Dr Sani Aliyu, National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, disclosed this on Thursday.
The government had on May 4, 2020 imposed a nationwide curfew from 6pm to 8am. It later reviewed the timing to between 10pm and 4am.
“I will first of all start with general movement. We are modifying the curfew to commence from 12 midnight to 4am nationwide, effective from 12:00am today.
“This does not apply to people on essential services and international travellers that might be returning from abroad.”
This announcement will come as a relief to the nightlife industry who have grappled with the previous timing which was 10pm in the night.
