Two student associations representing communities in Ondo North Senatorial District have publicly acknowledged Senator Jide Ipinsagba for funding free Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board registration slots across the district.
The National Association of Akoko South East Students (NASSES) praised the initiative as a meaningful intervention that has reduced financial strain on families and promoted academic excellence among young people in the area.
NASSES noted that the gesture had eased the financial burden on many parents and students, creating equal opportunities for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions. The association added that the support would positively impact the academic futures of beneficiaries and inspire renewed hope among youths in the senatorial district, noting that the intervention reflects the lawmaker’s commitment to human capital development in Ondo North.
The National Association of Akoko North East Students (NAANES) issued a similar commendation through its National Executives, characterising the free registration programme as timely assistance for households grappling with examination expenses.
NAANES stated that the gesture had opened academic opportunities for numerous beneficiaries and strengthened confidence in leadership that prioritises education and youth empowerment.
Both organisations described the senator’s action as an investment in the educational prospects of young scholars throughout Ondo North.
The student bodies offered prayers for Senator Ipinsagba’s continued wisdom, strength, and success in his work serving the people.
The appreciation letters bore signatures from the leadership of NASSES and NAANES National Body, underscoring the collective gratitude of students benefiting from the programme.
This development comes as the 2026 UTME registration period continues, with JAMB maintaining its closure date of 26th February 2026 without possibility of extension. Financial challenges remain a significant obstacle for many Nigerian families seeking to register their children for the examination.
The senator’s gesture joins a wave of similar interventions across various Nigerian states where lawmakers and philanthropists have sponsored JAMB registrations for disadvantaged students during this examination cycle.
Such initiatives have provided critical relief to thousands of candidates who would otherwise struggle to afford the registration costs, demonstrating the impact of targeted educational support on expanding access to tertiary education opportunities.
