In a groundbreaking move to foster unity and promote religious tourism, the Plateau State Government, in collaboration with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Plateau State Chapter, is set to host the first-ever Interdenominational Unity Christmas Carols and Praise Festival.
The three-day event, scheduled to take place from November 29 to December 1, 2024, at the 10 Commandment Prayer Altar in Doi, Jos South Local Government Area, promises to be a celebration of unity and faith, bringing together Christians from across the state.
According to Hon. Yiljab Abraham, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, the festival is part of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s initiative to mobilize people from all walks of life in Plateau to engage in discussions on strengthening unity and promoting peace.
The festival will feature a powerful choral performance, with plans to build a 1,000-member strong choir known as the Plateau Unity Choral Group

Transportation to the venue will be provided free of charge, with designated buses covering various routes, and security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of all participants.
Governor Mutfwang’s vision for the festival is clear: to unite people through shared worship and to promote religious tourism, positioning Plateau State as a destination for spiritual reflection, similar to Mecca or Jerusalem.
The planning committee, led by Plateau State’s Secretary to the Government, Architect Saminu Jatto, is confident that the festival will not only strengthen religious unity but also help reposition Plateau State as a hub for peaceful coexistence and spiritual reflection.
