PLABOMA, Tourism Ministry Partner to Showcase Plateau’s Rich Cultural Heritage

Plateau State Commissioner for Tourism, Culture and Hospitality, Hon. Cornelius Dongnaan Doeyok, has emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between government and digital media practitioners to promote Plateau State as a top tourism destination. He made this call while receiving members of the Plateau State Bloggers and Online Media Association (PLABOMA) on a courtesy visit to the ministry in Jos.

Doeyok identified inadequate storytelling and limited visibility of Plateau State’s tourism and cultural assets as major challenges facing the sector, stressing that strategic media engagement is critical to attracting visitors, investors, and stimulating economic growth. “We have not been able to tell our story well. We have the climate, the culture, the cuisines, and the sites, but we have not amplified them enough for the world to see,” he said.

PLABOMA Chairman, Matthew Tegha, expressed the association’s readiness to collaborate with the ministry to promote Plateau State’s tourism, culture, and hospitality sectors. He noted that PLABOMA members operate across diverse digital platforms with audiences spanning local and international communities, positioning the association to effectively project the state.
