**Ramadan in Adamawa: Keke NAPEP Operators Get Reprieve** As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, the Adamawa State Government has taken a significant step to ease movement for Muslim faithful in the state. Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has relaxed the night-time restriction on commercial tricycles, popularly known as Keke NAPEP, in parts of the state. For the past few years, Keke NAPEP operators have been restricted from operating between 10pm and 5am. However, due to the upcoming Ramadan period, the Governor has adjusted the restriction to commence from 11pm to 5am daily. This change is aimed at allowing Muslim faithful to attend late-night tafsir sessions with ease. The Adamawa State Government has a history of imposing restrictions on the movement of tricycles and motorcycles to strengthen public safety and security. However, this latest review reflects the administration's commitment to balancing religious observance with security considerations. The government wants to support Muslim faithful in their observance of Ramadan while maintaining the gains recorded in peace and security across the state. Security agencies have been directed to intensify patrols in affected local government areas such as Yola North, Yola South, and Girei. This is to safeguard lives and property, and the Governor has warned that any breach of the law will be dealt with decisively. He has also appealed to residents to act responsibly and avoid actions that could undermine the peace and stability currently enjoyed in the state. The relaxation of the night-time restriction on Keke NAPEP operators is a welcome development for many residents of Adamawa State. It shows that the government is willing to make adjustments to accommodate the needs of its citizens, especially during special periods like Ramadan. As the state celebrates the holy month, residents are expected to maintain peace and stability, and the government is committed to doing its part in ensuring a secure and harmonious environment for all.
