Students Of UNIJOS Receive Lectures While Sitting On The Floor

It is quite sad, and we are sure a lot of us have seen things similar to this in our universities:

What became the University of Jos was established in November 1971 as a satellite campus of the
University of Ibadan. The first students gained admission in January 1972 as pre-degree students with the first Bachelor of Arts degree program which started in October 1973. In October 1975, the then military government

under General Murtala Mohammed established  Unijos as a separate institution. The first
Vice-Chancellor of the Unijos was Professor Gilbert Onuaguluchi. Classes started at the newly reorganized University of Jos in October 1976 with 575 students spread over the existing four faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Education, Natural Sciences and Medical Sciences. Post-graduate programs were added in 1977. By 1978 Faculties of Law and Environmental Sciences were created and the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences were separated.
In 2003, the Carnegie Corporation of New York gave Unijos a US $2 million grant to form its own fundraising department.

Notable scholars associated with the university include:
