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...

Dewan K. Gabriel , has reaffirmed his commitment to building people and investing in humanity as seven young men he supported successfully passed out as police constables. Sharing the news on his social media page, Dewan wrote: “Humanity — seven police constables pass out through me. God used me to fulfil their destiny.” He reflected on the importance of nurturing others, cautioning that “if you don’t build those around you, one day they will grow without you — and don’t expect loyalty from them.” The Plateau lawmaker, currently on an official trip to Spain, was represented at the passing-out parade by his Personal Assistant, Hon. Manji Yilchir Polit . He congratulated the new police officers and promised to host them on his return, describing their achievement as a shared ...

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...
