The University of Jos (UNIJOS) has announced that, starting the first week of March 2026, all staff and students will be required to visibly wear their identification cards to gain access to university campuses.
According to an internal memorandum from the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, conveyed through the Security Division by Acting Chief Security Officer Agama Solomon Tangni, the policy specifies:
- Green tags – for staff
- Blue tags – for students
Newly admitted students will be temporarily allowed entry using their school fees receipts until official ID cards are issued.
The directive addresses delays in tag distribution by the ICT Directorate. Deans and Heads of Departments have been instructed to submit comprehensive staff lists to the ICT Directorate, which is producing the ID cards free of charge.
The University highlighted that this measure aims to curb crime and enhance campus security, ensuring UNIJOS remains a safe and conducive environment for learning.
All members of the university community are urged to comply fully before the enforcement deadline.
