Leading the team to the Government House, Chairman of Retail Supermarket Nigeria group, Mr. Tayo Amusan said they were in the state as part of the plans for its rollout in 2022, which will see them developing the Jos City Mall that will house Shoprite and other businesses.

He said that the group is attracted by the huge potentials of Plateau State in terms of agricultural products, serene environment, huge market and opportunities for growth.

He added that Jos has a natural attraction for tourists and visitors who need shopping and recreational facilities that the organisation is capable of providing in the planned roll out. Apart from Shoprite, there will be other facilities of the Jara brand to be rolled out.

Amusan appreciated Lalong for his determination and keen interest in facilitating the coming of the business conglomerate to state, assuring that they will take advantage of the favourable business environment currently obtainable in the state to make sure that the plan succeeds.

The Governor, in a response said he was delighted with the visit of the group, which was long overdue because Plateau State is a business destination and a home for all Nigerians and foreigners.
