He assured that the carnival competition would not upset the culture and morals of the Plateau people saying ` it would be decent, no bikini wearing or displays that upset our culture.
"The queen must be intelligent, single and beautiful, among other criteria, ` he said.

"We would train them on making some handcrafts such as making bags, hats, liquid soap and air fresheners among others` he said.
He said during the audition, 20 contestants would be selected to be groomed at the boot camp for three days before the final completion on January 28.
" The contestants who must be from ages 18 to 26 years would be groomed for poise, educated on the tourism sites and potentials of Plateau, its food and culture amongst others.
" The Queen who must be a resident of Plateau irrespective of her place of origin must be of good character and passionate to promote the Jos carnival both on local and international platforms." he said.
