Jos- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Jos, the capital of Plateau State in North Central Nigeria, is a city of about 810,000 people (2015). Known for its cool climate, scenic plateau setting, and colonial significance, it was once a thriving tourist destination before regional unrest. The city is accessible via various transport options, including Cross Country's air-conditioned mini-vans from Lagos and Abuja, as well as state-run services from nearby capitals like Gombe and Kaduna. While private transport is available, travelers may encounter numerous security checkpoints due to safety concerns.
