A significant number of Nigerian students faced challenges affording the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration fees between 2021 and 2024 primarily due to economic hardships.
The financial strain on families has been evident which has led to increased dropout rates and diminished higher education prospects for many youths. In response, various educational foundations and non-governmental organizations have launched initiatives to sponsor JAMB registrations to support academically talented but underprivileged students.

Hon. Yishawu made this statement while kicking off the 12th edition of his annual free JAMB form distribution initiative, which provides 1,000 free UTME forms to indigent students in his constituency.
12th Edition of Free JAMB Forms Initiative Begins
The 2025 edition of the free JAMB form distribution commenced on February 10, 2025, and will run until February 21, 2025.

Helping Students Transition to Higher Education
