Through a strategic partnership between the Plateau State Government, Plateau Investment and Property Company (PIPC), and Hillside Hospitality Limited, led by Strom infrastructure investment and management limited—an ambitious ₦8.5 billion investment has been set in motion to revitalize the Hill Station Hotel.

    This transformative initiative is expected to redefine the hospitality landscape of Plateau State, driving tourism, economic growth, and job creation in Jos. The project aims to harness the state’s rich tourism potential while attracting local and international visitors to the region.

Strom Infrastructure, having played a key role in the revitalization of NESCO Nigeria, was selected as the concessionaire for this initiative. The official agreement was sealed with the signing of the Head of Terms in July 2024, marking the beginning of a strategic journey to reposition Hill Station Hotel as a world-class resort.

This includes opportunities in transport, restaurants, and other ancillary services that will emerge as the resort comes to life,” Jatau stated.

    Kolapo Joseph, a director for Hillside Hospitality Limited, described the Hill Station project as a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming hospitality and tourism in Plateau State. Speaking as a Hillside Hospitality Director, he emphasized that this endeavor goes beyond mere revitalization—it is a dedicated effort to honor Hill Station’s rich heritage while introducing world-class hospitality standards.
