| Beneficiaries of Ogunlende's free UTME forms |
Hon. Mobolaji Ogunlende, Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development and Pioneer of Real Acts of Kindness (RAK) Development Foundation, has presented Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME (JAMB) forms to indigent students across Badagry Local Government.
The form was presented on Tuesday at the RAK Development Foundation office in Ajara, Badagry, following a meticulous selection process where candidates underwent tests to determine if they were qualified.
Mr. Oloyede, who represented Ogunlende, said, "In line with the commitment of RAK Foundation to foster educational opportunities, Ogunlende continues to spearhead initiatives aimed at ensuring that no child is left behind in the pursuit of knowledge. The distribution of JAMB forms is an aspect of his annual commitment to empowering youth and nurturing academic excellence."
He further pointed out that, the initiative builds upon the success of previous efforts, such as last year's online examinations, where top-performing candidates were presented with JAMB forms and tuition fees were covered for many upon admission to tertiary institutions.
"Hon. Mobolaji Ogunlende's dedication to uplifting the youth and investing in their future underscores his belief in the transformative power of education. By equipping young minds with the tools they need to succeed, he is not only changing individual lives but also contributing to the overall development and prosperity of the nation," he added.
