The Vice Chancellor, University of Jos, Professor Seddi Sebastian Maimako, on behalf of the Governing Council, Senate, staff and students uses this occasion to thank the numerous people and organisations who have identified with us at our critical hour of need by sending emails, making telephone calls, sending text messages and visiting. Many of you, in Nigeria and abroad, have mobilized support for us by donating cash, books, journals, and computers since then. We are most appreciative.
The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Tertiary
Education Trust Fund is well appreciated for visiting and providing funds for the
restoration of the burnt building.
Banyan Air Services in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United
States of America is appreciated for releasing its facility free of charge, to
serve as a Collection Point for donors from USA. Several universities in the
United States of America have made material donations. Emeritus Professor
Lalage Bown has been passionate in mobilizing support in the United Kingdom.
Several individuals and organisations in Nigeria have made
donations to re-stock the library. We thank you all. To our staff and students
in the University of Jos and diaspora who have made tremendous efforts in
mobilizing for the re-stocking of the library, we are most grateful.
The mobilization continues and hopefully, very soon the
library will be renovated and re-stocked for full services to resume.
Thank you for identifying with us and for the contributions
you are making to restore the library.
