Beneficiaries of Adewale Temitope Adedeji Educational Initiatives have lauded Lagos lawmaker, Adewale Adedeji, for providing free JAMB registration slips to Ifako-Ijaiye residents.

They said the gesture would rekindle hope of furthering studies in tertiary institutions and ease financial pressure on parents and guardians.

The beneficiaries spoke during the presentation of 2,000 free JAMB registration slips to residents of Ifako-Ijaiye on Friday.

A beneficiary, Elizabeth Odumosu, 50, thanked the lawmaker for supporting youths and adults to pursue further education.

She said the initiative had given hope to many unable to afford examination registration.

“I am excited about this programme because it has given me a new lease on life.

“I pray God will bless the lawmaker and strengthen him to continue supporting the youth,” she said.

Another beneficiary, Cynthia Austin, said the initiative had rekindled hope to further their education.

“My children are inspired to do better in their studies because of this initiative,” she said.

Mr Adedeji, representing Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I, said the gesture aimed to improve access to education and reduce financial burdens on families.

He said the initiative aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, encouraging leaders to support less privileged communities.

He urged beneficiaries to remain focused and study hard to succeed in their examinations.

Mr Adedeji assured continued support through free forms and scholarships for outstanding students.

The programme was organised by Adewale Temitope Adedeji Educational Initiatives.
