The Pro-Chancellor University of Jos, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Thursday met with Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State.

Jega, who is also the chairman of the institution’s Governing Council, was on a courtesy visit to the governor at Government House in Jos.

He told the governor that the students required improved security to thrive well in their academic activities, saying the school was vulnerable during the recent attacks in the state.

“We need continuous support and improvement to ensure peace, stability and security within the university and environs for its growth and development,” he said.

Jega said that the university also needed buses which would operate within the school to minimise risk of insecurity students experienced when patronising commercial transportation.

In his remark, Lalong appreciated Jega for his contributions in improving education in Plateau as he had also served as pro-chancellor of the Plateau State University Bokkos.
