NGO sponsors 1,000 for 2025 JAMB exams in Kwara

An Ilorin-based Non Governmental Organisation (NGO,) Lekan Adewoye Foundation, has obtained Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) forms for 1,000 admission seekers in the state.

The sponsor said that the gesture covers 83 wards spanning the seven local governments of Kwara South senatorial zone.

Beyond the JAMB sponsorship, the Foundation also pledged full academic scholarships for candidates from each of the seven Local Governments who achieve the highest scores in the examination.

Adewoye told newsmen in Ilorin that the initiative is part of his Foundation’s commitment to promoting education.

According to him, “the beneficiaries were selected on merit and need, they are those we were convinced really deserve it, regardless of their financial background. They must have a fair chance at pursuing higher education.”

Adewoye, who is also a member of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) affirmed his dedication to uplifting the educational standards in Kwara South and beyond.

“Education remains the most powerful tool for transformation. At the Lekan Adewoye Foundation, we believe that no brilliant mind should be denied access to higher education due to financial constraints. That is why we have taken it upon ourselves to support these young scholars on their academic journey,” Adewoye stated.

These top-performing students will receive comprehensive support to pursue their studies in any accredited institution that grants them admission.
