PLATEAU STATE IN BRIEF.
Plateau State in Nigeria (West Africa) derives its name from the geographical description of the landscape that predominates in this part of Nigeria which is often referred to as the Jos Plateau. The Jos Plateau is the higher of the two plateaus found in Nigeria; the other one being the Mambilla Plateau. Whereas, a greater part of the PLATEAU, is made up of slightly undulating highlands of an average height of 3,500 meters above sea level, there are areas such as the Share Hills with peaks of over 5,000 meters above sea level.

Jos, the capital of Plateau State is situated approximately on latitude 9.6 degrees North and Latitude 8.5 degrees East. The city lies close to the geographical center of Nigeria. For variety and scenic beauty, Jos is non – pareil.

Plateau State is a miniature Nigeria. Apart from harboring an area of fascinating contrast of scenic beauty embracing a some-what cool temperate climate, it has a rich blend of different, yet friendly people mostly Christians. This is one of the few states in the country where there is no particular ethnic group that enjoys monopoly of any sort. Instead one finds here a multiplicity of small ethnic groups that see and appreciate the need for mutual co-operation for the survival and progress of the entire state.

Climate;
Generally speaking, the climate of the state is milder than that of the rest of the country. It is invigorating, and the nearest equivalent to a temperate climate in this tropical zone. It is for this reason that we have Jos and its environs the largest concentration of resident expatriates in the former British West Africa. In fact, in the colonial days, Jos was regarded as an asylum where colonial officers came to spend their local leave and enjoy the healthy surrounding.
Temperatures on the Plateau are several degrees lower than those in the rest of the county. Recorded mean temperature is 81.7F (27.6C) Maximum and 51.7F (10.9C) Minimum. There are neither extreme dual temperatures nor too much difference between the rainy and dry season.

In the rainy season, there are intermittent rain falls and sometimes drizzies on end. One interesting aspect of Jos weather is that it may be raining in one part of the town yet other parts may remain dry and sunny. Besides, drainage is generally very good.

Because of its climate, and fascinating topography. Jos has become a magnetic holiday resort most especially for European tourist.
