Nzem Berom is an annual cultural festival. The 2022 activities marking the event kick-started few days ago with Jummat prayers and special Church service respectively. The Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Gyang Buba during the Church service to usher in the annual festival had called on Berom to remain steadfast in service to God and humanity.

The Gbong Gwom Jos and Chairman Plateau State Council of Chiefs and Emirs further urged them to obey and pray for constituted authority at all levels.

Muslim members of the Berom ethnic group had their jumma'at prayers last Friday at Bukuru Central mosque with Jibrin Gyang, one of the leaders of the Berom Muslim community in Plateau State who said there was respect for religious diversity among the Berom people.
