Disclosing this to newsmen on Friday in Jos, on the occasion marking his fourth year in office, the VC said from the available data JAMB ranked Unijos as the fourth best among Nigeria tertiary institutions that had admitted candidates from all the 37 states and the FCT.


“The University of Jos was also rated as the fifth best tertiary institution in the country in terms of number of candidates admitted from the 37 States and the FCT, with 31 States having not less than 20 candidates admitted into the University during that exercise.

 
“It is noteworthy that only University of Jos and University of Ilorin are not first generation Universities rated among the top five Universities in that category.


“We have continued to pursue an all inclusive approach in our admission policy in order to, as much as possible, have candidates from the different States of Nigeria represented in Unijos” Maimako said.

Griset has become a target, even though he grows alfalfa.
