Plateau State University, Bokkos has adopted its maiden Strategic Plan, setting a clear roadmap for institutional development from 2026 to 2030.

“Operating without a strategic plan is like working without a compass,” Prof. Best stated. “Vice Chancellors come with their own visions, but those visions do not replace the university’s mission, values, or priorities. This plan lays out who we are, how we got here, where we are now, where we want to be, and how we’ll get there. These are simple but powerful questions.”

He commended the committee for its dedication and noted the plan’s user-friendly format. “You’ve given us a complete package. I’m grateful for the time and expertise you devoted to this process,” he said.

Prof. Nmadu explained that the plan reflects Prof. Best’s vision for a technologically driven campus and outlines projected academic and infrastructural expansion over the next four years. She added that the document is designed to be flexible and can be updated to meet emerging needs.

Vice Chancellor Prof. Shedrack Best received the plan on Wednesday, May 13, from the Strategic Planning Committee led by Prof. Theresa Nmadu of the University of Jos. The committee began research, consultations, and drafting on December 16, 2025, culminating in a four-year framework for the university.

Receiving the report alongside other management staff, Prof. Best said the document will anchor his administration’s efforts to build a lasting legacy.
