Senator Ishaku Abbo Calls for Priority on Plateau Tourism After Camping at Lamingo Dam

September 29, 2025

By Ayuba Doekyil 

Former Senator representing Adamawa North, Ishaku Abbo, has called on government at all levels to give more attention to tourism development in Nigeria, with special focus on Plateau State.

Abbo made the call after sharing his camping experience at Lamingo Dam in Jos, Plateau State, where he and his team spent the night on the rocks by the water before leaving the next morning.

According to him, sleeping on the hard rock surrounded by water was “beautiful” and a clear sign that Nigeria can build a thriving tourism sector without citizens having to travel abroad for leisure.

“This is a testimony that we can develop our tourism potentials here at home and also improve our security architecture and services,” Abbo stated on his official Facebook page.

The former lawmaker stressed that Plateau State has natural endowments that can attract both local and foreign tourists if given proper attention. He urged the government to invest more in security, infrastructure, and policies that will boost the tourism industry.

Tourism stakeholders have often described Plateau as “the home of peace and tourism,” but many believe that the sector is yet to reach its full potential, Abbo stated.

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with...
