The Berom People The Berom (sometimes spelt as Birom; exonyms: Tyap: A̱kuut) are one of the largest autochthonous ethnic groups in Plateau State, central Nigeria. The Berom community spans four local government areas: Riyom, Jos North, Jos South, and Barkin Ladi (Gwol). Additionally, Berom people are found in some southern Kaduna State local government areas, such as Fadan Karshe, with Berom settlers tracing their origins to Za'ang, a Berom district on the Jos Plateau. They emigrated during the British Colonial Government of Nigeria. The Berom people are predominantly Christians, with an estimated 99% of the populace practicing Christianity. Statistics indicate that a significant portion of Plateau State's population is composed of Berom people.
