A leading Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant for the 2027 election, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has initiated moves to assist indigents students through the provision of free forms and coaching for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB).
Ajadi said over 10,000 indigent students will benefit from the free JAMB forms and free coaching for JAMB Classes across the 33 local government areas of the state this year as part of his efforts to support educational development in Oyo State.
The PDP gubernatorial hopeful said education remained the foundation for the future and for a sustainable society, noting that at least 300 students would benefit from the gesture in each local government of the state.
According to him, the programme is open to all indigenes and residents of the state with the aim of giving support to quality education in Oyo State, saying that all applicants must have NIN and G.C.E Ordinary Level Certificates to qualify for the gesture.
Ajadi said that the distribution of the forms and screening would take place in all the 33 Local Government Secretariats of the PDP in the state between Monday January 19 and February 28, 2026, adding that the selection would be on first come, first serve basis without any bias.
The renowned philanthropist reiterated that education is the bedrock of development and growth of any nation, hence, the need for him to contribute his quota to the development of education by helping indigent students to further their studies.
He maintained that he would do all within his power to support educational development in the state, recalling that he had been doing similar programmes for students in Ogun State for some years.
"I want to build a solid foundation for the youths by making education attractive through financial grants, tech support and provision of educational resources.
"I have seen that education is unarguably the foundation for the future, that’s why I offered to provide free JAMB forms to about 10,000 students in the state and this gesture has been met with positive remarks from their parents/wards who have been relieved of the burden in this present economic hardship," Ajadi stated.
