Jos

The earliest known settlers of the land that would come to be known as Nigeria were the Nok people, who mysteriously vanished in the late first millennium.

Jos is often referred to as 'Tin City' due to its history of tin mining.

Jos is home to the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, the highest academic awarding institution in Nigeria.

At an altitude of 1,217 m (3,993 ft) above sea level, Jos' climate is closer to temperate than that of the vast majority of Nigeria.

The National Museum in Jos was founded in 1952 and is recognized as one of the best in the country.
