By Usman Masara Kim, Jos Nigeria Listen to article
There is currently an unprecedented political interest in the selection of a new Vice Chancellor for the University of Jos, as the current VC s tenure elapses this June. This University has an interesting history of having been founded by a Southwestern University located over 800kms away, under the carefree watch of many Plateau neighbors.
What became the University of Jos was established in November 1971 from the satellite campus of the University of Ibadan. This was after the then Head of State, Yakubu Gowon failed in his bid for the creation of a satellite campus for Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in Jos.
