The Residency Training Sub-Committee has donated a 900-watt loudspeaker and two microphones to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) on Wednesday, February 2026, to improve audibility during hospital programmes and official engagements.
Speaking at the Office of the Chief Medical Director (CMD) during the presentation, the DCMAC in charge of Education and Training, Dr. Anna B. Gyang, said the idea for the donation arose following challenges encountered with the former sound system, which failed to deliver clear output during a recent programme. She explained that the committee, after identifying the need during one of its meetings, observed that the speaker was usually not loud enough, making it difficult for participants seated at the back to hear properly. As a result, the committee resolved that an additional sound system was necessary.
She further noted that the committee believes giving back to one’s organization should not only occur after leaving the system, but also while still serving within it.
Consequently, one of the Directors and a member of the Residency Training Committee, Dr. Yilleng Shem Bulus, volunteered to donate the loudspeaker and two microphones to the hospital to ensure clearer and more audible sound during programmes.
In his remarks, the Chief Medical Director of JUTH, Dr. Pokop Bupwatda, commended the committee for the gesture, describing it as a demonstration of passion and commitment to the institution. He emphasized that the donation coming from a committee within the organization, rather than from external bodies, showed genuine concern for the hospital’s growth and development.
The CMD encouraged all staff to emulate such a spirit of service by asking what they could do to make JUTH better, rather than focusing only on what the hospital could do for them. He thanked Dr. Yilleng Shem Bulus and members of the committee and offered prayers for them.
Also present during the donation were the Director of Administration, Mr. Tunji Adegboye, and the CMAC, Dr. Njem Josiah Miner.
The donation is expected to enhance sound quality during hospital programmes and contribute to a better working environment. A group photograph was taken to preserve the memories of the presentation ceremony.
