Nigeria was a product of British Colonial empire-building and the emergence of Nation-States. Plateau State is a product of Nigeria’s nation-building, a sub-set of the former. The success of Plateau State as a people will translate into the success of Nigeria as a nation. Elements are abstract parts of any entity depicting its group dynamics. Group or Community elements are what we see in the nature of the people as they relate to their environment . The Plateau Elements are the qualities that make ‘Plateau the Beautiful’.
