LINKAGES AND
RESEARCH
The University of Jos believes that one of
the viable means of rating the public image
of a university is its success in fostering
global inter-university research collaborations
and linkages.
The linkages between the University of Jos
and its various partners have been quite successful,
thus enhancing its philosophy and objective
of “innovativeness and practical education
for humble service to humanity as well as the
advancement of knowledge through high level
research and teaching in the search for the
truth”. The university is pursuing this
through capacity building, staff training and
exchange as well as facilitating access to up-to-date
library, laboratory and computer facilities,
in addition to providing valuable research resources,
especially experience and expertise in sourcing
for research funds.
