In continuation of his agenda to make quality education more accessible to the students of his constituency and beyond, the lawmaker representing Ikeja Constituency 2 at the Lagos State House of Assembly Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu (ARK) has sponsored 1000 JAMB Pins for students across the Constituency.
Out of the first phase, each of the 10 Wards in Ikeja Constituency 2 are to submit a list of 25 peneficiaries per ward.
While each of the 2 LGA/LCDA will also get 25 slots each.
The remaining slots will be allocated directly to other subgroups, Individuals, deserving students and other stakeholders across the Constituency by the Hon. ARK Committee on Education.
According to a message sent to the party chairmen, Ward chairmen are to assist in collating the names of the 25 beneficiaries from their individual wards.
Information needed from each beneficiary include names, address, phone contacts and NIN.
List of nominated beneficiaries from each Ward and LGA (with their complete information) are required to reach the Office of Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu before or on the 9th of March 2022.
It is also required that nominated students must have his/her 5 O’ Levels complete or an evidence of Awaiting Results. Such candidates must also be resident in Ikeja Constituency 2.
It will be recalled that, in the last couple of years, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu has made a point of duty to assist constituency students with various educational support initiatives such as free JAMB, Free GCE, scholarships and others in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals no 4 which emphasizes inclusive and equitable education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Many of the beneficiaries of previous editions of ARK Free JAMB and GCE are already doing well in various institutions across the country.
According to Hon. Kasunmu, “It is important for us to create opportunities for our young ones to have access to quality education, this is how they can pursue their dreams, visions and aspirations in life. These 1000 JAMB Pins are meant for our students in Ikeja Constituency 2 irrespective of party or ethnic affiliations. It is my hope that this little seed will germinate and blossom for the betterment of our youths and the society at large. I wish them all the best as they take this opportunity.”
Quite a large number of the constituents have been showering encomiums on Hon. Kasunmu for this novel initiative, since the announcement of his year 2022 free JAMB registration was made public on March 2.
