“Today, the university has a total of 15 Faculties, 63 Departments that offer 48 undergraduate and 59 postgraduate programmes. The main campus is here in Karu while the Teaching Hospital and College of Medical Sciences are in Jos Campus.

These were Prof. Aaron Gana 2005- 2007; Prof. Felix Anjonri 2007 –2013; Prof. Leonard Fwa, 2013 -2017; and Prof. William B. Qurix, OFR, FNIA 2018 to Jan 7, 2024. By the grace of God, I took over as the 5th substantive Vice Chancellor on the 8th of January 2024.
“May I seize this opportunity to pay tribute to these past Vice-Chancellors as well as all the past and present members of the Board of Trustees, the Governing Council, Senate, and the Management Committee for the sacrifices they made toward the development of the University over these years.”
