The Jos Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, JOCCIMA, has been identified as a very viable platform for promotion and development of businesses in Plateau state and Nigeria in general. Dr.  Idris Joseph Nubuya, the Executive Director of JOCCIMA, who spoke to this medium after a one day sensitization workshop, organized in Jos, the Plateau state capital, by the German Investment Corporation (GIZ) on ease of doing business in Nigeria said:

“The Jos Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, JOCCIMA, is a very viable platform for promotion and development of businesses in Plateau state and Nigeria in general.

“After a very careful but extensive study conducted by JOCCIMA, which revealed Plateau state as the Most endowed state in Nigeria, the Chamber immediately put machinery in place to ensure that the potential of Plateau state as the most richly endowed in the country is fully realized. 

“This is why I can authoritatively tell you that JOCCIMA is a viable platform for promotion and development of businesses in the country. We’re therefore poised to take Plateau state to the peak among the states of the federation, where she rightly belongs in terms of business activities and viable option for peoples’ empowerment, job creation and wealth generation”.

According to Dr.  Idris Joseph Nubuya, JOCCIMA is already affiliated to a select national and international Chambers of Commerce. The reason is to ensure that adequate collaborative efforts, necessary to tap the enormous business opportunities in Plateau state is provided, and in particular to serve the interest and need of the growing population of our members, and the entire business community in Plateau state and the country, who presently demands from JOCCIMA, vibrancy, creativity and result based networking activities not only to drive their businesses but to compete favourably in a fastly growing and very dynamic business environment.
