Ugandan travel influencer and cultural ambassador Gladys Simpo has met with Plateau State Commissioner for Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality, Hon. Cornelius Dongnaan Doeyok, to strengthen cross-border cultural ties.
Simpo, on her second visit to Nigeria and three weeks into exploring the country, shared her experiences touring Plateau’s villages and the scenic Shere Hills.
“It was a pleasure hosting Simpo Gladys, a cultural tourist from Uganda, during her tour of some African countries here in Jos, our beautiful home,” Commissioner Doeyok said following the farewell and courtesy visit.
He emphasised a shared vision: “The idea has always been to tell our story in our own ways — and that is ‘Africa is one.'”
Doeyok revealed that after experiencing Plateau’s beauty and culture first-hand, Simpo has been given a mandate to tell the world that “Plateau is home for all Africans.” The Commissioner extended shout-outs to Arin Izang and Think Tourism Nigeria (TTN) for their support.
Plans for a repeat visit and potential roles promoting the Plateau Cultural Carnival were also discussed.
