The city of Jos is gearing up for an extraordinary weekend of worship and music as the much-anticipated Plateau Unity Carols & Praise Festival kicks off this Friday, November 28th. With final touches in place, the festival is set to deliver a powerful blend of faith, culture, and celebration.
Running from November 28th to 30th, this year marks the second edition of the festival under the visionary leadership of the State Governor, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang. The event is a collaborative effort between the Plateau State Government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
A distinguished lineup of national figures will grace the occasion. Special Guests of Honour include former Head of State Gen. Dr. Yakubu Gowon, GCFR, NNOM; former President General Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, NNOM; and Hon. Hannatu Musa Musawa, ESQ, Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy.
The festival will also feature impactful spiritual ministrations from Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, former Vice President of Nigeria, and Dr. Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
Music remains at the heart of the celebration. A spectacular 300-trumpeter ensemble and performances by leading Nigerian gospel artists—Sinach (Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu) and Buchi Atuonwu—will headline the musical experience. They will be joined by dynamic choristers from Abuja, Hausa singers from Katsina, and a variety of indigenous Plateau choirs and artists.
Adding to the cultural richness, children will deliver special performances, presenting the Christmas story in different Plateau dialects—an inspiring symbol of unity and heritage.
Themed “Plateau United in Praise,” the festival will take place daily at the Ten Commandments Prayer Altar, Jos, beginning at 3:00 PM from Friday, November 28th to Sunday, November 30th.
Poised to be a highlight of the Christmas season, the Plateau Unity Carols & Praise Festival promises an unforgettable atmosphere of joy, music, and togetherness for all who attend.
