The Plateau State Government, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency Governor Caleb Mutfwang , is taking bold steps to restore and redefine the Jos Main Market as a global centre of commerce. Once celebrated as the largest indoor market in West Africa, the Jos Main Market is set to rise again stronger, modern, and positioned to drive economic growth across the state.
In keeping with its commitment to inclusive governance, the Plateau State Government believes that the market belongs to the people. Therefore, the Jos Main Market Authority is inviting the public to participate in naming the iconic edifice that will leave a lasting imprint on the state’s commercial future.
So far, four potential names have already been suggested:
- Jos Ultra Modern Market (JUMa)
- Plateau Unity Market
- Plateau Trade Centre
- Plateau Trade City
However, the doors remain open for more creative and impactful suggestions. The new market, which will be built at Maraban Jama’a in Jos South Local Government Area, needs a name that is catchy, relevant, and timeless. A name that reflects Plateau’s trade heritage and journey to economic freedom and prosperity.
Consequently, the Jos Main Market Authority urges all citizens, traders, and stakeholders to participate in this historic naming process. Suggestions should be sent via text message or WhatsApp to 08068567456.
Be part of history. Have your say. Let’s name Plateau’s future together.
Signed,
Mangna Yusuf Wamyil
General Manager, Jos Main Market Authority
