The leadership of the Berom Educational and Cultural Organization (BECO), received with great joy and utmost satisfaction, the news of the appointment of Prof Joshua Pam Chollom, one of the foremost academicians in the land and indeed the nation, as Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics), by the Senate of the prestigious University of Jos. Until the well deserved appointment, Joshua Chollom, a professor of Mathematics, was Director, Academic Planning in the same institution, where he excelled without any iota of doubt.

For us in the BECO, Prof Chollom remains a shining example of unassuming integrity, humility, commitment and unquestionable sacrifice to service to humanity. He had served BECO, with exemplary candour and distinction, as Chairman of our standing committee on Education, Steering Committee on the Proposed BECO College of Education (Technical), Interview Panel on the Appointment of Principal of the BECO Comprehensive Secondary School, among many other responsibilities.

It is with extreme ease that we unequivocally state that Prof Chollom performed all these and many other ad-hoc assignments with maximum dedication.
We are least surprised at the recent appointment of the choleric scholar, excellent teacher and expert researcher, as DVC.
We are in no doubt at all that this is not only a well deserved but highly merited appointment.

Our confidence in the cherished antecedents of Prof Chollom tells us he will excel in the office of the DVC (Academics). We therefore, uphold our dear brother, friend, son, leader and an embodiment of morality, in prayers. God who made it possible for him to ascend into the seat is faithful to keep him from falling.

Once more, on behalf of the Berom nation, BECO congratulates our own, Prof Joshua Pam Chollom, the newly appointed DVC (Academics), University of Jos.
