Tinubu Support Group launches free JAMB registration for 10,000 Ebonyi students

The South East Renewed Hope Agenda has launched a free Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration exercise for 10,000 students in Ebonyi state.

The group said the initiative is part of President Bola Tinubu’s broader youth empowerment and education reform drive.

Belusochukwu Enwere, national coordinator of the group, spoke on Tuesday at the flag-off ceremony.

Enwere said the programme is designed to remove financial barriers preventing students from accessing tertiary education.

According to him, the initiative aligns with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises youth empowerment, educational advancement and inclusive national development.

“Today is not just about registration for an examination. It is about unlocking doors of opportunity. It is about investing in the future and empowering a generation that will shape the destiny of our state and our nation,” he said.

Enwere said education remains a critical tool for national transformation and that accessible, quality learning opportunities are central to Nigeria’s long-term development goals.

He said the free registration scheme demonstrates the administration’s commitment to ensuring that no qualified student is denied the opportunity to sit for JAMB due to financial constraints.

The coordinator referenced recent federal interventions in the education sector, including efforts to stabilise relations between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

He cited the reported 40 percent salary increase for university lecturers as part of measures to strengthen tertiary education.

Enwere also highlighted the introduction of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which provides financial support to students seeking higher education.

He described the scheme as a major step toward expanding access to academic opportunities nationwide.

“To our students, this opportunity must not be taken for granted. Prepare diligently and strive for excellence. The future belongs to those who prepare for it today,” he said.

He acknowledged the sacrifices of parents and guardians in supporting their children’s education.

The event was attended by community leaders, parents and education stakeholders, who said the programme would boost university admissions and expand access to tertiary education in Ebonyi.
