Kabong is the most dynamic suburb within Jos-North Local Government Area of Plateau State, North Central Nigeria.

Once a village under Du District in the old Jos LGA, Kabong gained her autonomy and became a district of her own in 1983. Kabong District, which lies west of the Jos city center, is one of the oldest indigenous settlements of the people of Jos since pre-colonial times.

Joseph Gomwalk Raod from Secretariat Junction, Zaria Road from Farin Gada, Mary Princewell Road from OLA Hospital and Rukuba Road from Bassa are the four main routes leading to Kabong.

Interestingly, this typical Berom village that was once lined with tall cactus hedges, silk-cotton trees, thatched mud huts and earthen granaries has over the years become a semi-urban town and home to all the tribes, races and creeds you can find in a big city.

Since pre-colonial times, Kabong has played a key role in the overall development of Jos City before the political malevolence that overwhelmed her towards the end of the last century. However, during the last century Kabong has produced some of the most outstanding academicians, bureaucrats, politicians, technocrats, sportsmen, artists, artisans, business entrepreneurs and intellectuals that shape the history of not only Jos the State Capital, but also impacted greatly on the history of Plateau Sate, the ‘Middle Belt Region’, Northern Nigeria, the entire Country and Africa.

The land is beautiful, the people are hospitable, their history is fascinating, and their achievements are immeasurable… indeed Kabong is an emerging metropolis with so many untapped potentials in terms of human and natural resources, culture and tourism endowments, intellectual capital and humanitarian initiatives.
