Business owners in Jos, the capital of Plateau state, are expressing frustration over the prohibition of trucks from business areas in the state between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm.
They cite significant impacts on their operations, including logistics challenges, disruptions to the supply chain, and increased costs due to longer transportation routes or the need for alternative methods.
While acknowledging the intention behind the restriction, the business owners believe the timing and planning of the entrance ban are too stringent. They are urging the state government to consider adjusting the order to better accommodate their operational needs.
Emphasizing the importance of collaboration and dialogue, they advocate for finding mutually beneficial solutions to address concerns and ensure the smooth functioning of businesses in the area.
