To promote equal educational opportunities, the Caleb Danladi Foundation (CDF) said it will sponsor the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations for less privileged students across 23 LGAs in Kaduna State.
The new initiative aims to empower deserving individuals facing financial barriers in pursuing higher education in the state, according to CDF in a statement.
The CEO and founder of CDF Caleb Danladi explained that the primary essence of the commitment is to make a positive impact on the lives of those who may lack the means to access further educational opportunities crucial to their development and progress.
He said, “Education is a powerful tool for transformation, and every deserving student, regardless of their background, should have the chance to realize their full potential. Our foundation is dedicated to breaking down barriers and creating pathways to success for the less privileged.”
Danladi said the sponsorship program will cover the entire cost of JAMB registration for eligible students, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their pursuit of higher education. The initiative aligns with the foundation’s overarching mission of empowering, educating, and elevating lives within communities.
To ensure the identification and outreach of potential candidates, the foundation will collaborate with local educational institutions, community leaders, and non-governmental organizations.
“The application process will be designed to be accessible to students facing economic challenges, with a focus on academic merit and commitment to education,” it stated.
The Foundation encourages community members, well-wishers, and potential partners to join hands in supporting this initiative, emphasizing the collective responsibility of fostering positive change and creating opportunities for the less privileged.
CDF said, over the years, introduced various programs in support of vulnerable people in the society in the state in areas such as provisions of food items, skills acquisition empowerment, and educational supports, among others.
