Falegan Sponsors JAMB Registration for 7,000 Students in Ekiti, Applauds Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda
In a bid to promote education and support disadvantaged students, Hon. Opeyemi David Falegan, a philanthropist from Ekiti State, has announced the sponsorship of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration for about 7,000 applicants across the state. The initiative, aimed at providing access to tertiary education for students, particularly those from less privileged backgrounds, is a significant step toward ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their academic pursuits.
Free JAMB Registration Initiative
The free JAMB registration program began after a rigorous screening process. Falegan emphasized that this effort is part of his commitment to society, ensuring that students, regardless of their social status, can access affordable and quality education.
Speaking from his base in the United Kingdom, Falegan disclosed that over 12,000 applicants had applied for this year’s free JAMB registration. This is a program he has been running for the past eight years.
Support for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda
In a telephone interview with journalists in Ado Ekiti, Falegan expressed his full support for President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, describing it as “a commendable initiative for the country at this critical time.” He emphasized that the agenda demonstrates Tinubu’s innovative ideas for the country, especially in areas such as security, economy, agriculture, and human capital development.
Falegan lauded the President’s efforts in education policy, mentioning initiatives like the Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), TETFUND interventions, and various youth empowerment programs.
Continued Commitment to Education
He stressed that for these initiatives to succeed, the support of all Nigerians is necessary. Falegan further explained that after applicants submitted their forms, a private screening panel was established, and thorough checks were conducted to ensure that all applicants met the necessary qualifications. Some applicants were disqualified due to deficiencies in their results.
Falegan affirmed his dedication to continuing the free JAMB registration program, with the goal of assisting parents who face challenges in sponsoring their children’s education. He urged all beneficiaries to utilize the opportunity effectively and expressed his satisfaction with the screening panel’s work.
Falegan’s Ongoing Educational Support
Since the inception of the ODF Foundation, Falegan has distributed over 5,000 free JAMB forms to deserving students in 2024 alone. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting education, empowerment, and youth development. Through this initiative, more students in Ekiti will have the opportunity to pursue their academic dreams without financial barriers.
Falegan also called on other public-spirited individuals who believe in the transformative power of education to contribute to their communities and help make people’s dreams a reality.
