JoKUCo Background
The Josiah Kibira University College (JoKUCo) of Tumaini University Makumira is located in Bukoba Rural District 10 km North of Bukoba Municipality in the Kagera Region of the United Republic of Tanzania. JoKUCo is a Christ-centred University College focusing all its programmes through the guidance of and obedience to the Word of God and by conducting and promoting higher education, learning, research, through scientific fact-finding and enquires, to all students and staff without discrimination. The Josiah Kibira University College of Tumaini University Makumira was born out of a decision taken in August 2008 by the Synod of the North-Western Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT) governed and administered in accordance with the provisions of the constitution establishing it. The question that could be posed is why should the University College be named after Josiah Kibira?
