Group Managing Director/CEO of Plateau Express Services Group, Samuel Jok Gwott, has described the recovery of assets illegally occupied within the Riders Park premises in Jos as a new benchmark for the organisation’s infrastructure advancement and service optimization.

He said government had taken decisive steps to recover and reclaim assets illegally occupied within the Park’s premises in Jos towards repositioning it to a morden park in the country.

“The good people of Plateau State have long desired a modern, organised transport park. This recovery is a major step toward realising that dream.

“We are confident that by 2026, Plateau Express will be on the right track to delivering a fully developed Riders Park that meets the highest standards of public transport and commuter satisfaction,” he stated.

He noted that the action marks a significant turning point in the ongoing efforts to restore, redevelop and reposition the park as a modern, functional transport hub that

reflects the renewed vision of the present administration.

“Under the leadership of Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, the Plateau State Government continues to demonstrate a commitment to translating intentions into visible action.

“From the successful Terminus and Kugiya clean-up exercises which paved the way for the efficient operation of the Tin City Metro Bus Service to this latest intervention, the administration has proven that progress is best achieved through accountability and structure,” The MD stated

Gwott expressed deep appreciation to the Secretary to the State Government, the Attorney General of Plateau State, the Ministry of Housing & Urban Development, the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB) and the Ministry of Transport for their collaboration and support in making the recovery possible.

“This milestone underscores the state government’s commitment to reforming public infrastructure and restoring the integrity of government assets while positioning Plateau Express as a leading force in Nigeria’s evolving transport landscape,” he said.
