Education remains one of the most powerful tools for societal transformation, and in Plateau State, one visionary initiative is taking bold steps to make it accessible to every child. “Plateau Goes to School”, founded by Ambassador Prince Odiete Daniel, popularly known as Mr. Tourism Plateau and the current Mr. Nigeria Tourism & Culture, is a movement dedicated to promoting education, peace, and development across the state’s seventeen (17) local government areas.

Through its various programs and school-based activities, the project also promotes Edu-Tourism, a creative blend of education and tourism designed to connect pupils, teachers, and schools from different parts of the state. This interaction helps to showcase the cultural beauty of Plateau while fostering understanding and collaboration among communities.
