In a remarkable gesture of gratitude and commitment to legacy, the M.Sc. Class of 2024/2025 of the Centre for Conflict Management and Peace Studies (CECOMPS) donated 11 official chairs valued at ₦1,100,000 to the Centre as part of their Leave-a-Legacy Project.

The presentation ceremony took place on Friday, 22nd May 2026, at the Centre’s Boardroom, where the items were officially commissioned by the Global President of the University of Jos Alumni Association (UJAA), Dr Gad Shamaki.

The donation was presented on behalf of the graduating class by the Director of Alumni Relations, Mr Naandye Dabugat, and received by the Director of CECOMPS, Professor Danny McCain, who expressed deep appreciation for the thoughtful contribution and its impact on the comfort and productivity of the Centre’s lecturing staff.

Goodwill messages were delivered by Dr Raphael Sule, the 2024/2025 M.Sc Coordinator, alongside other staff members, who commended the graduating class for setting a worthy example of service, unity, and giving back.

The memorable occasion concluded with a thanksgiving dinner held at De-Bridge Hotel, Jos, celebrating not just an achievement, but a lasting contribution to the growth of the Centre.

Today, my dear friend and long standing comrade, Peter Owoeye generously donated 6,000 cement blocks for the building of the Global Secretariat/ Alumni Centre, therefore providing a strong foundation for the project that is already taking shape.

This generous contribution reflects his belief in our shared vision and inspires renewed hope and commitment among us all. We sincerely appreciate this outstanding gesture and pray for greater blessings upon him.

We believe this is only the beginning.

We therefore call on every Josite to join hands with us. No contribution is too small, every effort matters and will help sustain this momentum.

Together, we are not just building with blocks, but building hope, unity and a brighter future for generations to come.

Let us come together and make a lasting impact.

Gad Peter,
Global President.

Everybody keeps saying β€œUniJos changed my life.”
Now the question is:
What are we willing to build for UniJos in return?

The Alumni Secretariat is not another structure on campus, it will be a lasting statement.

A statement that Josites are connected, that we believe in legacy and are ready to build something that represents all of us properly.

From Abuja Hostel to Naraguta, village hostel nights and lecture hall struggles to boardrooms across the world, this project carries every part of our story.
And honestly,a community as powerful as ours deserves a home that reflects it.

So let’s ask the real question:
If every Josite contributed something meaningful to this project… imagine what we could build together.

Dear esteemed Josites,

On behalf of the NEC, we sincerely appreciate and thank everyone, particularly Mallam Idris Yakubu, for taking out time to participate in the CWC meeting, as well as for the valuable contributions, dedication, and unwavering commitment shown towards the growth of the University of Jos Alumni Association and the development of the proposed Global Secretariat Project, which formed the sole agenda of the meeting.

The meeting further reinforced our shared vision of building a lasting legacy for present and future Josites across the world. While reaffirming the commitment of the NEC towards the overall growth of the Association and the successful completion of the Alumni Secretariat project, the following resolutions were reached:
1. Each chapter is expected to contribute a minimum of Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira (₦2,500,000.00).
2. Each chapter, except Abuja, Lagos, and Plateau Chapters, is expected to identify five distinguished Josites whom the National Body can approach for support towards the building of the Alumni Centre.
3. Every Josite is encouraged to contribute Ten Thousand Naira (₦10,000.00) towards this historic project.
4. Monthly updates on the progress of the project will be communicated accordingly.

We deeply appreciate the unity, sacrifice, cooperation, and sense of ownership already being demonstrated by Josites worldwide. Together, we will not only build a Secretariat, but also strengthen a legacy that generations after us will be proud of.

Together, we will start and complete this project to the glory of God and in service to humanity.

Another proud moment for every Josite across the world.

The University of Jos has emerged as the highest beneficiary at the 6th edition of the National Tertiary Admissions Performance-Merit (NATAP-M) Awards organized by JAMB, receiving a remarkable ₦500 Million award in recognition of exceptional performance within Nigeria’s admission system.

Our great institution emerged:

πŸ† 1st in admission of international students
πŸ† 2nd in compliance with JAMB admission policy
πŸ† 6th in national spread of admitted students

This achievement is a reflection of the steady growth, excellence, credibility and national relevance the University of Jos continues to represent.

While presenting the award to the Management and Committee of Deans and Directors, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Tanko Ishaya, attributed the success to the dedication and hard work of staff across the institution, while encouraging the university community to see this recognition as a call to even greater excellence.

As alumni, this moment reminds us once again why we are proud to be called Josites. From classrooms to boardrooms, from Nigeria to the global stage, the University of Jos continues to raise men and women of impact while earning national recognition for excellence and integrity.

We celebrate the Vice Chancellor, Management, Staff, Students and the entire University community for this remarkable feat.

The glory of our alma mater continues to shine brighter.

This is more than a building project.
It is a legacy project.
A place future generations of Josites will walk into with pride.
A place where memories, mentorship, opportunities, and the spirit of UniJos will continue to live on.
And now, we have an opportunity to build it together.

As work progresses on the proposed Alumni Secretariat, we are calling on Josites and friends of the University of Jos community who would love to support this historic project through:

▫️ Blocks
▫️ Sand & gravel
▫️ Iron rods
▫️ Water tanks
▫️ Professional supervision & technical expertise
▫️ Building materials and logistics support

No contribution is too small when it is done with heart and for legacy.

One day, generations after us will stand before this building and say:
β€œWe built this together.”

If you would like to be part of this journey in any way, kindly reach out to us. Let history remember that when the time came to build, Josites showed up.

Together, let us build a home for generations.

Dear Great Josities,

APPRECIATION

I remind us that in mid April, I was in Benue State in the company of the Benue State Chapter Chairman, Prof. Gowon Doki and the Alumni Assistant Secretary General, Mr. Terfa. Tsetim, to visit a great Josite who is also the Secretary to the State Government. DCNS Serumun Deborah Aber, Esq

I am delighted to inform us that some days ago, we received a generous donation of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000.00) from her towards the building of the Global Secretariat of the Alumni Association.

We are profoundly grateful to her for this kind gesture and we also appreciate the efforts of the Benue State Chairman and the Assistant Secretary General for making the visit possible.

We will look forward to direct and indirect support from Josities and friends of Josties towards the development of the Alumni Secretariat.

Thank you all.
Gad Peter
Global President

There’s a spot in PSite many people walk past without realizing what it is becoming.

Just after the bend.
Beside the ASUU Secretariat.
Before the school clinic.
Right there… a future is waiting quietly.

Today, it may look like a building project.
But years from now, it could become one of the most important symbols of what it truly means to be a Josite.

Pause and imagine this for a second:
A young graduate walks into the Alumni Secretariat for the first time, hopeful, searching for direction and inside, they find mentors, opportunities and connections.

Elsewhere in the building, classmates who haven’t seen each other in 20 years are laughing like no time passed.
A meeting is happening in another room where partnership are formed and memories are made all over again.

That building will not only be offices or spaces, it will hold stories.
Stories of people who once sat in overcrowded lecture halls…
queued at the clinic…
trekked from Management Sciences under the Jos sun…
and still carried dreams big enough to change their lives.
This is why the Alumni Secretariat matters.
Because every great community eventually needs a home.
Not borrowed, not temporary but, Ours.

And one day, generations after us will step into that building and benefit from something they did not personally build because Josites before them chose to think beyond themselves.
Maybe that’s the real beauty of legacy.

This is bigger than a project now.
It is becoming a symbol of who we are.
