Gov Mutfwang Commits to Remodelling Plateau And Hill Station Hotel, Inspects Project
As part of ongoing efforts to reposition Plateau State as a premier destination for leisure and investment, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, undertook an inspection tour of the remodeling works at the iconic Plateau Hotel and Hill Station Hotel, both located in Jos, the state capital.
During the visit, Governor Mutfwang described the hotels as monumental legacy assets intricately woven into the cultural and economic fabric of Plateau State, facilities which, for too long, had been left in a state of disrepair.
“A lot of the history of Plateau State is tied to assets like this,” the Governor stated, expressing satisfaction with the progress of work and optimism about their full revival.
Governor Mutfwang further emphasized that his administration is pursuing strategic partnerships with private investors to reduce dependence on public funds while ensuring long-term sustainability.
He disclosed that a significant portion of the Plateau Hotel project is expected to be completed and ready for use by December 1, 2025.
At the Plateau Hotel site, the investor, Aviare Global Concept Ltd., led by Chairman/CEO Mr. Kudla Satumari, outlined key features of the rehabilitation project. These include a dual carriage access road, extensive landscaping with palm trees, a state-of-the-art control and security center with CCTV surveillance, and a redesigned perimeter fence aimed at enhancing both aesthetics and guest safety.
At the historic Hill Station Hotel, the developers, Hillside Hospitality Ltd., reported that Phase One of the project has reached 45% completion. Ongoing construction works include the hotel fence and gatehouses, a modern gym, poolside bar, twin swimming pools, laundry café, and other auxiliary services. Progress is also being recorded on the main building annex, conference halls, and overall site landscaping. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations are underway, with CCTV infrastructure and NESCO power connectivity also being prioritized. The entire project currently stands at approximately 50% completion.
The Hill Station Hotel project is being spearheaded by Project Manager Arc. Okechukwu Izeogu, Lead Supervisor Arch. Racheal Dawurung, and Project Director Oluwadamilola Awoyomi.
Governor Mutfwang commended the project teams for their professionalism and dedication. He reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to restoring Plateau State’s image as the Home of Peace and Tourism by reviving its once-vibrant hospitality and tourism sector.
