Scope and Contents

"The plateau landscape is in marked contrast to the rest of Nigeria. It is an area barren of trees, dotted with large bare rocks and carrying the many scars of its mining operations." [Neiers, M.de P., 1979: The Peoples of the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. European University Papers]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Westinghouse Film and traveled to Africa from October 26, 1970 to end of March 1971.
