BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Federal Government College, Jos, a brain child of the then General Gowon led Military Administration, was established on 12th February, 1973 along with other second generation Unity Colleges like Federal Government College Kaduna, Kano, Enugu, Ilorin and others. It was initially situated at a temporary site known as Diye in Jos, on Bukuru by-pass road, which is now being occupied by the Air Force Girls’ Comprehensive School, Jos.

Over four and half decades down the line, student population today stands at One thousand, Eight hundred and Fourty-Eight (1,848). This number comprises of Eight hundred and Ninety-One (891) males and Nine hundred and Fifty-Seven (957) females; as well as staff population of Three hundred and Twelve (312), which is made up of Two hundred and Eight (208) academic staff and one hundred and four (104) non-academic staff.
