Plateau State
Plateau State is located in the North Central Zone out of the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.[7] With an area of 26,899 square kilometres, the state has an estimated population of about three million people. It is located between latitude 08°24'N and longitude 008°32' and 010°38' east.[8] The state is named after the Jos Plateau, a mountainous area in the north of the state with rock formations.[9] Bare rocks are scattered across the grasslands, which cover the plateau.[10] The altitude ranges from around 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) to a peak of 1,829 metres (6,001 ft) above sea level in the Shere Hills range near Jos. Years of tin and columbite mining have left the area strewn with deep gorges and lakes.[11]
