No fewer than eight professors are vying for the position of Vice-Chancellor of the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Plateau State, as the institution moves towards appointing a new head.
The development emerged on Monday during an interactive session organised by the university’s Advancement Office in collaboration with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at the union’s secretariat, Naraguta Campus.
Seven of the aspirants who attended the session were Professors Ikonne Ogaji, Victor Duga, Sati Fwatshak, Anthony Dakum, Patricia Lar, Bernard Matur and Simon Yiltok. They presented their visions for the university and responded to questions on their proposed leadership and administration.
Speaking at the event, ASUU Chairman, Professor Joseph Molwus, said the engagement was designed to give stakeholders an opportunity to participate in the process and contribute to the university’s future.
A former Vice-Chancellor of Karl Kumm University, Professor Nanven Gambo, also challenged the candidates to demonstrate their capacity to manage institutional authority, uphold integrity and promote inclusive governance in advancing the university’s growth and development.
