My last post is based on the last post made by Mr. Ugo Ben 82' Set. Please it below:
1. Will this require a coordinated effort to visit the Nigeria Army Education Corps to draw its attention to the deplorable conditions? We have very high senior military officers who were pillars to the birth of COJOSA that can facilitate such an audience. 2. Will it require the assistance of commandos whose parents are Generals or retired Generals? COJOSA may explore using such networks to lobby the right authorities to fix our alma mater. 3. Will it just require a loud media noise to draw attention of the authorities to the collapsed infrastructures at CSSJ? We have media people who are not only passionately commando, but have high interest in the vision and mission of COJOSA. I know of Vivian Akinyosoye. I know of Victor Okhai. 4. Will it require a 17 million intervention fund from commandos? May be, maybe not. Will this amount be less or more than may be needed? “Will the Cart come before the Horse or the Horse before the Cart? Is it possible that some set coordinators for the fund drive might end up having no body to coordinate? Very Possible. Is it practicable for a strong and accountable COJOSA to host a public event in Nigeria to raise funds for the cause of CSSJ? Very practicable. 5. Will there be better options than the ones enumerated above by great commando minds if the reports that may be presented by the 2 Lagos officials are made available to the other chapters to brain storm? Probably. 6. Finally, are there commandos on this forum who have not joined a COJOSA chapter? Please we need you.

It is the first thing, the right thing and highly commendable. Photos of the deplorable status of once glorious CSSJ have been posted on FaceBook (kudos to Commando Ibrahim Kadiri). It is understood that great infrastructural developments are taking place in the other Command Schools but that of Jos. Looking at those pictures posted I see that some structures are been renovated (eg, admin block, the clinic, the classroom blocks). It will be interesting to know if there is an ongoing turn around or “makeover” on ground. If it is school wide or just some specific structures. Whatever the report from the fact finding mission; bottom line is that as alumni we have to make an impactful presence in the school that gave much to us. It is the right thing. I think that is the vision and mission of the chapters in ABJ, LAG, PH, UK-IRL and North America. 1.
