The Plateau State Government has banned the blockage of access roads by worship centres.

This was contained in a statement obtained by 9News Nigeria correspondent in Jos and signed by Architect Hart Bankat, General Manager of the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB).

It reads “Following the Executive Order 003 of the Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang signed on the 1st of March 2024 for the control of building/vehicular traffic, I convey the ban of blockage of access roads and advise that all worship centres should provide appropriate parking spaces off the main roads during worship for their worshippers.

The statement further reads “All worship centres should provide building approvals issued by the JMDB to avoid penalties”

“The Government solicits with the spiritual leaders to help advise their members to be law abiding citizens and to encourage them to comply with the laid down laws”.
