Nasarawa State is more than just the Home of Solid Minerals — it is also home to a rich tapestry of people. With 29 vibrant ethnic groups, the state stands as one of Nigeria’s most culturally diverse. From the Eggon, Gwandara, Migili, and Alago, to Hausa, Fulani, and Tiv communities, each group contributes its language, food, festivals, and traditions, weaving together a story of unity in diversity.
This diversity is not a barrier — it is Nasarawa’s greatest strength. Despite different cultures, the people share one land, one vision, and one identity as Nasarawa citizens.
That’s why at 9jafoodfiesta, we believe empowerment must reflect this spirit of togetherness. Our programs are designed to cut across all ethnic lines — ensuring that youth, women, and persons with disabilities from every community have equal opportunities to learn ICT, agriculture, culinary arts, and fashion.
When a Tiv farmer, an Eggon tailor, and a Gwandara youth trained in ICT sit together in one empowerment hall, what you see is not difference — you see the future of Nasarawa. A united people, building a stronger state, and contributing to Nigeria’s growth.
Unity in diversity is not just a slogan — in Nasarawa, it is lived every day.
