attractions like Mambilla Tourist Center, Gumpti Park and game reserve
in Gashaka; and the Nwunyu Fishing festival in Ibi, which is usually
held in April of each year where activities such as canoe racing,
swimming competition and cultural dances are held. Other festivals are
Purma of the Chamba in Donga, Takum and Bali, the Puje of Jukuns,
