ABOUT US.

UJCEF—University of Jos Corruption Eradication Foundation is a long over-due organization that has evolved from a restless, resilient and purpose minded set of young men and women(UJ students), who have risen up to the challenges, taken it upon themselves to reach out to the university Jos community and Nigeria at large. It is a body of passionate individual, that have viewed, examined and analyzed our decaying society(—ill and minute perceptions of the youths, and the most scary of all —their irritating ignorance towards the growth and development of our nation.), which we believe with strong conviction can be changed, totally turn around, if the youth can harness their potentials, change their perspectives and understand that there are no limitations to the mind, except those we acknowledge . With God over all, undeterred spirit, and a pragmatic approach, we are hopeful that we would not just dream our dreams, but touch them —Nigeria would change for better, because we are blessed People. For we hinge our faith on the fact that; whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe,It can achieve…Determined to make a difference.

MISSION OVERVIEW.

The UJCEF vision for the field is of a growing and responsible philanthropic sector that advances the common good. The sector sees itself as part of a broad philanthropic community that will contribute to the vision of our beloved country in the aspects of transformation, fighting against corruption, poverty eradication and empowerment of our fellow Nigerians. The partnership of UJCEF to other foundations, bodies or organisations of a common aim and objectives (e.g. UNICEF, WHO, NAPEP, EFCC, ICPC, NDLEA, NACA,NHIS, WORLD BANK, F.G, NDDC, UN, intercommunication companies etc) provides the opportunity, leadership and tools needed by philanthropic organisations like UJCEF on expanding, enhancing and sustaining our ability to advance the common good. Now to carry out this vision, we will be a membership of effective and diverse leadership that helps the field to be larger, more effective, responsible and cooperative. By common good, we mean the sum total of conditions that enable community members to thrive. This vision has a sheared nature that goes beyond individual benefits. By philanthropic organization, UJCEF is a vehicle that brings people together to enhance the effectiveness, impact, leverage of our philanthropy. This includes a collaboration with private and community foundations, cooperate foundations, giving programmes, operating foundations and public foundation as well as emerging giving and grant making mechanism involving collective participation. STATEMENT OF INCLUSIVENESS UJCEF is coming to promote responsible and effective philanthropy. The vision requires a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental operating principle and calls for an active and ongoing process that affirms human diversity in its many forms encompassing but not limited to ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, economic circumstances, disability and philosophy. We seek inclusiveness in order to ensure that a range of opinion, perspectives and experiences are recognized and acted upon in achieving the UJCEF vision,UJCEF also seek members or partners to make similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to better enhance our ability to contribute to the common good of our changing society. Today, more than 64000 U.S private philanthropic foundations play a constructive role in promoting social, cultural, economical and environmental innovation and in building and sustaining valuable institutions and organisations that benefit society at home and abroad.UJCEF in partnership with its boards have a pivotal role in the fiscal and program success of the foundation goals. At the same time helping to shape public issues, enliven and inform public debate and convene community leaders on matters of public concern. These lofty UJCEF responsibilities however have only been loosely defined. For example the UJCEF executives are often expected to creatively expand ways to leverage the foundation resources with non-profit sector know-how be strategic in their funding choices, demonstrate deep understanding of the foundation programmatic areas, evaluate the impact of their funding and make very effective decisions about priorities, investment strategies, program architecture and sector alignment. Yet these expectations with all their contradictions and high aims are more akin to an anthology of hope than to a definition of role. They do not make up a coherent and realistic position profile.
