The Junior Chamber International (JCI) Bauchi City and the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to revitalise JCI Nigeria in the Institution.
According to the Bauchi City President of JCI, Akintunde Tajudeen Taiwo, the MoU will strengthen the Bauchi Collegiate Local Organization (JCIN FPTB) — the student leadership arm of JCI within the institution.
He said that the MoU sets the framework for reactivating the chapter, which had been dormant for several years, and aims to empower students through structured leadership training, entrepreneurship development, community engagement, and global exposure.
The partnership was sealed on 4th July, 2025, at the Rector’s Office within the Polytechnic, bringing together key stakeholders from both JCI and the Polytechnic community.
Speaking during the event, Tajudeen stated: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our efforts to build a future where young people are empowered to lead with purpose and make lasting impacts in their communities. We are proud to recognize the Rector as a Human Duties Ambassador whose life and leadership have embodied the core principles of service to humanity, dignity, and sustainability.”
Also, the Rector, Alhaji Sani Usman, was conferred with the prestigious Human Duties Ambassador Award by JCI Nigeria, through its local chapter, JCI Bauchi City.
The award, which was presented by Tajudeen, the 2025 President of JCI Bauchi City, said that the gesture was to recognise the Rector’s unwavering commitment to humanity, education, and transformative leadership.
“It celebrates individuals who exemplify public service, advocacy, philanthropy, youth development, and community advancement — all values Alhaji Usman has consistently championed throughout his career.”
Also speaking at the event, Hassan Alhaji Hassan, mnipr, a seasoned communication strategist and Patron of JCIN FPTB, who also signed the MoU as a witness, commended the Polytechnic’s leadership for their openness to youth engagement and pledged ongoing support from JCI Nigeria: “On behalf of JCI Nigeria, I want to assure the management of this institution that this revitalisation effort is not just a formality, but a strategic step toward nurturing future leaders.
“The national body stands firmly behind this partnership and is ready to provide technical, moral, and operational support to ensure JCIN FPTB thrives as a hub for student leadership and innovation.”
Speaking on behalf of the Polytechnic management, Alhaji Mohammed Rabiu Wada, mnipr, Director of Public Relations, expressed appreciation to JCI for the honour bestowed on the Rector and the collaborative efforts to reawaken student engagement: “We sincerely thank JCI for this noble recognition and for choosing Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, as a platform to groom the next generation of leaders.
“The school management welcomes this MoU as a timely intervention and will continue to support JCIN activities in alignment with our institutional goals.”
