However, the 24-hour curfew remains in effect in Kaura Local Government Area.
Scores of people have been killed in the three local governments in ethno-economic crises, mainly between nomadic Fulani herdsmen and villagers who are mostly farmers.
The latest of such killings occurred in Jema’a on Christmas day despite the 24-hour curfew there.
The curfew in Jema’a and Zangon Kataf local government areas is now for twelve hours daily, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Medical and health personnel carrying out essential services are exempted from the curfew which was imposed in December 2016.
A statement from the state security council said improvements in the security situation in Jema’a and Zangon Kataf local governments informed the decision to relax the curfew.
