PROCUREMENT OF THE FIRST BATCH OF 500 UTME FORMS, INCLUDING 50 FOR ADO GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND 450 FOR INDIGENT STUDENTS OF ADO EKITI LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BY HON. ASEFON SUNDAY DAYO GCNS, SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT ON STUDENTS ENGAGEMENT

In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and educational development, I am pleased to announce the procurement of the first batch of 500 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms. Of these, 50 have been allocated to Ado Grammar School, Ado Ekiti—my alma mater—while the remaining 450 are designated for indigent students from Ado Ekiti Local Government Area in Ekiti State.

This initiative is aimed at supporting academically gifted but financially disadvantaged students in their pursuit of higher education.

Education remains the most powerful tool for both personal and national development. By eliminating financial barriers to tertiary education—just as His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has done through the establishment of the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to provide student loans for tertiary education—we are not only investing in the future of these students but also strengthening the foundation of our nation’s progress.

This initiative aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, ensuring that no deserving Nigerian youth is denied access to education due to financial constraints.

I commend the efforts of all stakeholders who continue to support students’ welfare and educational advancement. It is our collective responsibility to create opportunities for young Nigerians to thrive academically and contribute meaningfully to society.

This is just one of many interventions designed to ensure that our students receive the necessary support to excel. I assure Nigerian students of my unwavering commitment to championing their cause and advocating for policies that prioritize their educational needs.

Signed,
Hon. Comr. Asefon Sunday Dayo, GCNS
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students Engagement.
