Entrepreneurs Thrive as Made in Plateau Business Carnival Begins

The Made in Plateau Business Carnival came alive today at the vibrant Solomon Lar Amusement Park, drawing entrepreneurs, shoppers, and curious visitors into a colourful atmosphere of creativity and enterprise. From the moment the gates opened, the venue buzzed with activity, vendors arranging their products with pride, and buyers moving from stand to stand, admiring the variety on display.

The carnival grounds felt like a living marketplace of innovation. Stalls brimmed with handmade crafts, locally processed foods, fashion pieces, artworks, and unique household items, each one telling its own story of effort, passion, and Plateau ingenuity. The blend of music, conversation, and laughter created an environment that was as lively as it was welcoming.

Among the many business owners present was entrepreneur Otini Joshua Daze, who actively engaged with visitors while showcasing her products. With a bright smile and a confident pitch, she captured the attention of passersby, eager to share not just what she sells, but the story behind her work. In a brief conversation, Otini expressed deep appreciation to PLASMIDA, GIZ, and other supporting bodies for creating such a platform. She spoke about how encouraging it was to see so many creative minds gathered in one space, each adding their own spark to the growing culture of innovation in Plateau State.

Otini highlighted that events like this not only boost visibility for small businesses but also build a sense of community among entrepreneurs. She commended the level of creativity displayed across the market, noting that the carnival is becoming a powerful avenue for local talent to shine.

As the day progressed, more visitors trooped in, some buying, others simply exploring but all soaking in the rich showcase of “Made in Plateau” excellence. With its energetic start, the carnival promises to be an inspiring hub of commerce, connection, and cultural pride in the days ahead.
