The Menace of Indiscriminate Truck Parking at Maraban Jema’a and Its Implications for Road Safety

Opinion.. By Nenfort Clifford Gonchen Maraban Jema’a, located at the bustling gateway into Jos, has increasingly turned into a chaotic transport hub. Once known for its strategic link between Plateau State and other parts of Northern Nigeria, the area is now synonymous with traffic congestion and disorderly parking, especially by heavy-duty trucks. What used to be a smooth corridor for trade and travel has become a nightmare for motorists and residents alike.  The indiscriminate parking of these trucks has disrupted the free flow of traffic, endangered lives, and weakened the very structure of the road meant to serve everyone. Every day, truck drivers park carelessly along the shoulders of the highway and sometimes right on the carriageway itself, turning what should be a free-flowing road into a frustrating bottleneck.  This reckless behavior is often driven by a combination of factors,lack of designated parking bays, long waiting times to offload goods, weak en...

Jos Airport and the Plateau Promise: Turning a Sleeping Runway into an Economic Lifeline...How the Yakubu Gowon Airport Could Move Plateau from Agricultural Potential to Prosperity

October 6, 2025 There’s a quiet revolution stirring on the Plateau, one that could redefine the state’s economic future if pursued with sincerity and focus. The Yakubu Gowon Airport in Jos (Heipang), long seen as a quiet regional terminal, is finally on the path to transformation. In June 2025, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), led by its Managing Director, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Plateau State Government under Governor Caleb Mutfwang to upgrade the airport into an agro-cargo hub. The ambition is simple but profound: to make Jos the heartbeat of agricultural export in Nigeria and, eventually, an international cargo destination. At the moment, the airport operates a few domestic flights each week, serviced by Value Jet and Arik Air. But this limited activity hides a far greater potential. Nigeria loses an estimated ₦3.5 trillion every year to post-harvest waste, produce that never reaches consumers or export m...

October 4, 2025 By Ayuba Doekyil, Jos President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed his call for religious tolerance among Nigerians, declaring that “hate is not an option for us.” The President made the statement on Saturday at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Headquarters in Jos during the funeral service of the late mother of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.
