Residents of Ado in Karu Local Government Area (LGA) of Nasarawa State are expressing frustration with the 12-hour curfew imposed in response to the #EndBadGovernance protests. The curfew, which runs from dusk to dawn, has disrupted daily business operations and led to financial losses for many.
Business owners like Evelyn Imagbedion, a market trader, have reported significant setbacks due to the restricted movement, affecting their ability to purchase goods and maintain normal operations. Similarly, Moses Udoh, a barber, has seen a decline in patronage as evening customers are unable to visit due to the curfew. Janet Bello, another local shop owner, also highlighted the negative impact on her business.
The curfew was implemented to address security concerns and prevent further law and order breaches associated with the protests. However, residents are calling for a review of the restrictions, hoping for a return to normalcy as they wait for the resolution of the protests and associated issues.
