Plateau State Enforces Mask Rule on Metro Buses | Nigeria News

Plateau State is launching a bold new measure to combat diphtheria: starting Tuesday, September 8, 2026, face masks are mandatory on TinCity Metro buses under the “No Face Mask, No Entry” policy. With limited masks available at select stops, officials urge riders to bring their own for safety. The move comes as diphtheria cases surge—148 suspected cases and 23 deaths in just two weeks—with patients still receiving care at major hospitals. Public cooperation is vital to curb the spread and protect communities across Plateau State. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
