The vibrant city of Jos came alive as the 2024 Nzem Berom cultural festival commenced 17th May, 2024 at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium, drawing attendees from across Plateau State and beyond. Themed “The Future of Berom Land: Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Reorientation,” the festival highlighted the significance of preserving cultural heritage amidst contemporary challenges.
In his welcome address, the Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Gyang Buba, underscored the importance of culture and tradition in defining a people. “A people without a culture, without traditions, are a lost people,” he remarked, calling upon the attendees to remember their roots and uphold the rich cultural heritage of the Berom nation to the glory of God.
Da Buba expressed gratitude for divine protection amidst ongoing adversities and urged his people to intensify their farming activities to ensure a bountiful harvest. He noted that this year’s festival was subdued in honor of those who have lost their lives due to insurgent attacks, specifically mentioning the late Justice Gabriel Ada Musa. A minute of silence was observed in their memory.
“We have deliberately continued to host this cultural festival to remind our detractors and those who think they can intimidate us that, by the grace of God Almighty, we shall not be vanquished,” Da Buba asserted. He reiterated the Berom people’s determination to protect their land and uphold their traditions against any form of intimidation.
The Gbong Gwom also touched on historical and biblical perspectives, asserting that the Berom people’s current land was divinely allocated and emphasizing their resilience in the face of adversity. He assured the Plateau State government and the Federal Government of the Berom nation’s continued cooperation in seeking solutions to national challenges and fostering peace.
Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, attended the festival and advocated for ethnic unity as a means to foster peaceful coexistence. He commended the Berom nation for its efforts in promoting peace, tolerance, and solidarity, and praised Da Buba on his 15th anniversary as the Gbong Gwom Jos. The Governor announced a personal donation of N10 million to the Berom Legacy Trust Fund aimed at training 75 young men and 75 young women to reduce youth restiveness.
Governor Mutfwang emphasized the necessity of ethnic unity and highlighted the government’s efforts to resettle Internally Displaced Persons and enhance security in rural areas. He announced plans for the 2025 Plateau Cultural Day and an Interdenominational Christmas Carol in December to celebrate cultural heritage and collective prayers for the state’s prosperity and security.
Representing the Senate President, Senator Diket Plang praised the industrious nature and peaceful disposition of the Berom people. Former Governor of Plateau State, Da Jonah David Jang, encouraged reliance on divine guidance, while former Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (Rtd), stressed the importance of maintaining peace and unity in Plateau State and Nigeria. Prayers were offered for the leadership, security, and prosperity of Plateau State and Nigeria.
Senator Simon Mwadkwon, chairman of the organizing committee, noted the unique aspects introduced in this year’s festival and expressed optimism that the donations received would significantly contribute to the goals of the Berom Legacy Trust Fund.
The festival concluded with various donations from sons and daughters of the Berom land, special invited guests, and well-wishers towards the Berom Legacy Trust Fund. These contributions are intended to support youth development and preserve the rich cultural heritage of the Berom people.
In his closing remarks, Da Buba thanked everyone for their participation and urged them to continue respecting their cultural traditions and laws, which define them as a people. He also appealed for law-abiding behavior to ensure the security and well-being of all. The celebration was set to continue with further festivities at the nearby venue of Landfill.

The recently concluded SAVED TO SERVE event was more than just a success; it was a testament to God’s mandate in action. The inaugural edition went beyond mere words, embodying the practical Christianity and love that Jesus Christ instructed us to practice. This divine mission unfolded over several impactful days, beginning with a medical outreach on April 26-27 in Tudun Wada Mado village. Here, many individuals received medical consultations, counseling, diagnoses, and medications from professional healthcare providers.
Fast forward to April 29-30, when the team visited schools for an advocacy and sensitization campaign on drug addiction and menstrual hygiene for female students. The aim was to distribute sanitary pads to 300 girls while educating them about the dangers of drug abuse, its health hazards, and legal consequences.
The pinnacle of this divine mission is to demonstrate service to God and humanity, which is the true essence of our existence. The convener, Msg. Brains Michael Ijachi, also known as BMIAFRICA, is a multifaceted minister of the gospel. He is a serial entrepreneur, strategic life coach, media consultant, architect, fashion designer, philanthropist, painter, gospel musician, and more.
The main event on May 5, 2024, was a vibrant celebration of faith. SAVED TO SERVE was electrifying, featuring miracles, healings, deliverances, and a powerful “Encounter Hour.” Msg. Brains Michael Ijachi delivered an undiluted Word of God from Matthew 20:25-28, centered on the theme “Saved to Serve.” The program also included diverse song ministrations by anointed artists such as Wordsmith, Comfort Inyang, K-Vocals, the Word of Life Choir, Siye Daniel, and others.
In a moving conclusion, Msg. Brains Michael Ijachi donated all the proceeds from the event to Plangnan Luka Dumkes, a University of Jos student who was involved in a severe accident that affected her spinal cord, leaving her in need of surgery.

In a significant breakthrough, the Plateau State Police Command has paraded a suspected suicide bomber who was apprehended just moments before he could detonate explosive devices. This was disclosed by the Commissioner of Police, CP Emmanuel Olugbemiga Adesina, during a press briefing held at the command headquarters in Jos on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.
CP Adesina detailed that on May 13, 2024, around noon, the police received an urgent distress call from UBA Sparkling Junction, Dadin Kowa. A suspected armed robber had entered the bank, carrying explosive devices strapped to his body. He handed a note to the cashier, demanding 100 million Naira and threatening to detonate the explosives if his demand was not met.
The bank staff immediately alerted the manager, who swiftly contacted the Rantya police division and evacuated customers from the premises. Upon arrival of the police, the suspect, identified as Benjamin Basil, a student of Plateau State Polytechnic, Barkin Ladi Heipang Campus, panicked and attempted to flee. With the assistance of local youths, the police successfully apprehended him.
Jos-In This guy was caught today, May 13th, 2024, at UBA Bank, Dadin Kowa, Jos. He was attempting to detonate a bomb on the premises, but thankfully, he was apprehended.
In addition to the suspected bomber, other criminals were also paraded. Among them was Suleiman Mohamadu, 26, arrested for his involvement in an armed robbery incident reported on May 7, 2024. The robbery took place in February when Danladi Vennim was attacked and his motorcycle was stolen at gunpoint. The police recovered a locally fabricated AK-47 rifle from Suleiman, who confessed to the crime during interrogation.
Furthermore, the police command has made arrests related to a criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, and culpable homicide reported on November 29, 2023. Two suspects, Yuguda Abubakar and Hassan Yuguda, both from Safiyo, Bashar district, are in custody and will be charged once investigations are complete.
In another operation on May 13, 2024, the police, acting on credible intelligence, rescued two kidnap victims from Doemak Hills, Quan’pan LGA. The victims, Dashe Dadoer, 55, and Noeman Lukas, 30, were freed after a gun battle between the police and the kidnappers, who abandoned their hostages due to the police’s superior firepower. The victims have since been reunited with their families, and the case is under investigation.
CP Adesina expressed his gratitude to the journalists for their cooperation and for providing accurate information to the public. He also commended the citizens of Plateau State for their support and timely reporting of suspicious activities, which have been instrumental in the police’s efforts to secure lives and property in the state.

In the heart of Nigeria’s picturesque Plateau State, a transformational wave is sweeping through the agricultural landscape, heralding a new era of prosperity and empowerment for its youths. At the forefront of this movement is Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, whose visionary leadership is steering the state towards sustainable food production and economic growth.
With a keen focus on modernizing agriculture, Governor Mutfwang has initiated a comprehensive training program aimed at equipping over 340 youths from across the state’s 17 local government areas with contemporary agricultural skills. The training, conducted at the CSS Farm on the Abuja-Keffi road, serves as a cornerstone of the administration’s strategy to revitalize the agricultural sector and ensure food security for the people of Plateau State.
During his visit to the training ground, Governor Mutfwang emphasized the importance of embracing modern agricultural practices, highlighting the shift from manual labor to value addition and increased productivity. He urged the youths to seize the opportunity to not only develop their skills but also contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy.
The governor’s vision extends beyond mere skill development; it encompasses the creation of employment opportunities and the establishment of sustainable agricultural enterprises. One such initiative is the revitalization of the abandoned abattoir in Jos, with Governor Mutfwang exploring firsthand the potential benefits of modern abattoir operations during a visit to ABIS Farm MKT Nig. Ltd in Abuja.
The modernization of the abattoir not only promises to ensure quality meat production but also holds the key to unlocking employment opportunities for the state’s youth. By tapping into sectors like fishery, horticulture, poultry farming, and crop value addition, Governor Mutfwang envisions a vibrant agricultural ecosystem that not only sustains livelihoods but also fuels economic growth.
The commendation from Prof. John Kenedy Opara, Chairman of CSS Farm, underscores the significance of Governor Mutfwang’s initiatives. By empowering youths to be economically self-reliant and providing them with the necessary skills to thrive in modern agriculture, the governor’s administration is paving the way for a brighter future for Plateau State.
As Plateau State embarks on this transformative journey, guided by the visionary leadership of Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, the horizon brims with promise and potential. Through modern agriculture, the state’s youths are not just sowing seeds; they are sowing the seeds of their own empowerment and the prosperity of generations to come.

On May 10, 2024, the Plateau State Youth Council, led by Comrade Emmanuel Jukun, made significant strides toward strengthening the relationship between the youth of Plateau and the academic community of the University of Jos. In a meeting marked by cordial discussions and forward-thinking proposals, the council met with university officials, including the respected Vice Chancellor Prof. Tanko Ishaya, at the Register’s Conference Hall, Naraguta Campus.
The Youth Council, representing the vibrant and dynamic youth of Plateau State, Comrade Jukun alongside the PRO of the Council Comrade Walshak Kumen and other EXCO members emphasized the council’s commitment to the welfare and future of the university, which they consider a priority. Comrade Jukun expressed the council’s intention to forge a lasting partnership with the university, acknowledging the institution’s pivotal role in shaping the future of its students and, by extension, the state.
During the visit, the council did not shy away from addressing urgent matters, prominently discussing the concerning issue of the university’s ultimatum regarding unpaid school fees. With examinations looming, the Youth Council passionately appealed to the university management to extend leniency to students struggling financially. The request underscored the council’s role as a mediator and advocate for student welfare, urging the university to allow these students extra time to secure their fees, thereby preventing any disruption in their academic pursuits.
Responding to the council’s concerns, Vice Chancellor Ishaya expressed appreciation for the Youth Council’s involvement and insights. He spoke eloquently about the university’s mission to cater to the needs of the youth and the efforts being made to sustain high standards despite financial challenges. He highlighted the university’s proactive approach in reaching out to state governments and philanthropists to assist students with their fees, reflecting a community-driven solution to financial barriers affecting students.
Furthermore, Prof. Ishaya shared insights into the ongoing initiatives aimed at enhancing student welfare, including scholarship programs and work schemes. These efforts demonstrate the university’s commitment to not only easing the financial burden on students but also to fostering an environment where they can thrive academically and personally.
There was also a presentation of gift by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Jos, Prof Tanko Ishaya to Plateau Youth Council
As the council prepares for future engagements, with a promise to bring even more issues to the forefront, the hope is that this dialogue continues to foster a nurturing environment for the students of the University of Jos. The shared efforts of the Youth Council and the university management herald a promising future where education is accessible, and student welfare is prioritized, ensuring that the leaders of tomorrow are well-prepared to take on the challenges that await them.
