Jos, City Of Captivating Landscape by Jovago(op): 2:05pm On May 14, 2015
The beauty of a beautiful city best narrated by its romantic and temperate climate, magnificent geography and landmarks and mind-blowing tourist attractions. This has made the city a destination of choice for many tourists and fun seekers within and outside Nigeria. What’s the name of this pristine and cosmopolitan city domiciled in Nigeria’s middle belt? Jos. The city is bounded by Bauchi (North-East), Kaduna (North West), Nassarawa (South-West) and Taraba (South-East). The sights and sounds, the buzz of day-to-day life and the splendid nightlife of this endowed city entices people to the town. Today, Jos is not only popular for being the meeting point of different ethnic groups in Nigeria but also a tourist hub that continue to attract visitors from all over the world.

UNWINDING…
