The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has ranked the University of Jos highly for its exceptional commitment to efficient service delivery and integrity.
Following a comprehensive assessment conducted between May and June 2024, which reviewed various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies across Nigeria, the University of Jos was awarded a Substantial Compliance score of over 70%.
The evaluation, which utilized the Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard (EICs) and the Anti-Corruption Transparency Unit (ACTU) Effectiveness Index (AEI), highlighted the University’s operational excellence.
The ICPC’s findings revealed that the University demonstrated substantial compliance with ethical standards, achieving a “Very Effective” status on the Anti-Corruption Effectiveness Index.
This underscores the University’s strong framework for promoting ethical practices and integrity within its operations.
In a letter to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tanko Ishaya, ICPC Chairman Musa Adamu commended the University’s efforts and encouraged continued adherence to high standards for consistent service delivery and sustained trust.
The full report on the findings is available on the ICPC website for public reference.
Reacting to the recognition, Professor Ishaya expressed delight, praising the dedication of both staff and students.
