The Plateau State Government has announced the commencement of applications for shop leases at Yankeke Plaza, located along the old railway line opposite the National Orthopaedic Hospital, formerly Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), in Jos.
The Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB) said the opportunity covers standard shops, semi-large stores and large commercial spaces situated on the ground, first and second floors of the plaza.
In a public announcement, the General Manager of JMDB, Arc. Hart Bankat, said application forms would be available from Thursday, October 29, to Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The Board fixed a non-refundable application fee of ₦20,000, explaining that the payment covers administrative charges but does not guarantee the allocation of a shop.
It added that allocation would depend on the availability of spaces and compliance with approved architectural plans.
Interested business owners, entrepreneurs and traders have been directed to obtain and submit completed application forms at the Estate and Building Department, Room 34, JMDB office, No. 15 Ibrahim Dasuki Street, Jos.
The Board emphasised that all payments must be made through the bank, noting that cash payments would not be accepted.
JMDB clarified that the arrangement is strictly a leasehold opportunity and not an outright sale of the shops.
The Board urged interested applicants to visit its office for further information and clarification on the application process.
