ADAMAWA STATE LOCK DOWN RULES
The Adamawa State Government has imposed a lockdown throughout the State in an effort to avoid the spread of Corona Virus disease for a period of 14 Days with effect from midnight Tuesday March 31st 2020.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri says though painful, the decision is necessary to save lives.
Inter State travel restriction is also imposed as inter State and international borders with Cameroon are to remain shut during this period.
The ban also affects tricycle, taxis and bus operators throughout the State.
