President Bola Tinubu, through his Renewed Hope Agenda, on Tuesday launched a free JAMB registration initiative for 50,000 students in the Southeast region.
Under the programme, 10,000 prospective JAMB candidates from each state in the region will benefit. Each student will receive ₦8,500 to cover registration for the 2027 JAMB examination.
The exercise was launched in Enugu by the National Coordinator of the Southeast Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA), Belusochukwu Enwerem. He described the initiative as part of Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring quality education and youth empowerment in the region.
“Today is not just a ceremony. Today is a movement—a movement of hope, empowerment, and a declaration that the future of Enugu State will not be limited by financial barriers,” Enwerem said.
He noted that education remains the strongest pillar of sustainable development and described the initiative as a strategic investment in 10,000 future doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders.
“This programme is not charity; it is strategic empowerment. It aligns with the Renewed Hope vision of youth inclusion, educational access, and human capital development.
When we educate our youths, we secure our economy. When we empower our students, we strengthen our nation,” he added.
Enwerem urged beneficiaries to approach the opportunity with discipline, determination, and excellence, and to prepare seriously for their examinations.
Addressing parents and guardians, he said the initiative is designed to ease their financial burden and ensure that “your children’s future matters.”
