44 years after, UNIJOS moves to permanent site

University of Jos (UNIJOS) staff have been ordered to complete relocation to the institution’s permanent site after operating from temporary site for 44 years.

Its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sebastine Maimako, gave the order while taking over the newly constructed administrative/Senate Building from the contractor on Monday.

At a brief but colourful handing over ceremony held at the project site, Prof. Maimako said: “I hereby directed all administrative staff of the university to move to the permanent site immediately.”

The movement to the permanent site has been gradual and in phases since 2010 ,with the relocation of some of the faculties to the permanent site. The administrative and Senate sections, however, remained at the temporary site due to non-completion of the building for 10 years.
