The Journey Towards Unity

A significant step towards this unity was taken in 2024, when Rev. Fr. Ameh Sylvanus embarked on a determined effort to bring together the presidents and leaders of the various class and set associations. His initiative also led to the creation of a wider platform that brought together alumni from different generations and sets.

This historic effort laid the foundation for the emergence of a truly unified alumni association.

In 2025, Rev. Fr. Ameh Sylvanus was chosen as the Chairman of the Steering Committee, with the responsibility of pioneering the first unified JOSA Executive Council for a one-year transitional period.

Under his leadership, significant groundwork was accomplished. The Steering Committee:

– Facilitated the development and adoption of the Association’s Constitution;

-Secured the formal registration of the association as the Government Secondary School Jiwa Abuja Alumni Association;

-Adopted the acronym JOSA while retaining JOSA in brackets and in the Association’s established slogans, in recognition of its historical identity and widespread acceptance among alumni;

-Established an Electoral Committee to conduct the transition to an elected Executive Council; and

-Created the institutional framework for a sustainable and united alumni association.

These efforts provided the foundation upon which the present JOSA is built.
