The Jos Family Christmas Festival 3.0 is currently enlivening the city of Jos with culture, excitement and family-friendly entertainment as activities continue at the Christmas Village, Airforce Base Roundabout, Jonah Jang Way.
The 10-day festival, which began on December 21 and runs through December 31, is offering residents and visitors a rich blend of cultural displays, entertainment and educational activities under the theme “Experience the Magic. Discover the Plateau.”
During the presentation of certificates and gifts to winners of the Primary and Secondary School Essay Competition, the General Manager of the Plateau State Tourism Corporation, Chuwang Pwajok, praised the students for their creativity and strong understanding of Plateau State’s tourism potential. He described the competition as a strategic initiative aimed at grooming young minds and fostering pride in the state’s cultural heritage, natural attractions and values.
Pwajok noted that engaging children through intellectual activities such as essay writing helps promote tourism education from an early age, while also encouraging critical thinking and responsible citizenship. He commended teachers and parents for their support, as well as the festival organizers for sustaining a programme that successfully combines education with celebration.
The children’s fun fair segment of the festival also featured activities including Little Miss Tourism, DJ and Dance Competitions, and a Raffle Draw, adding colour and excitement to the event.
