In a bid to support education and ease the financial burden on students, the Youths for Development, Skills, and Innovation in Knowledge (YODSIK) has announced a free Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration initiative for eligible candidates. The initiative aims to empower underprivileged students who may struggle to afford the registration fees required to sit for the university entrance examination.
The leadership of YODSIK disclosed that this move aligns with their vision of promoting education, bridging the gap between privileged and underprivileged students, and fostering equal academic opportunities across the country. They emphasized that financial constraints should not be a barrier for ambitious young minds seeking higher education.
Interested students have been encouraged to apply through designated channels, with priority given to those from low-income backgrounds. The organization also plans to extend mentorship and career guidance to beneficiaries, ensuring they are well-prepared for the examination and future academic pursuits.
The initiative has been widely praised by parents, educators, and community leaders who see it as a much-needed intervention to support students aspiring to further their education. With the rising cost of education and economic challenges faced by many families, such programs provide crucial assistance in helping students achieve their academic dreams.
As the registration process unfolds, YODSIK has reiterated its commitment to promoting youth empowerment through education, skills development, and innovation. The organization has also called on well-meaning individuals, corporate bodies, and the government to support similar programs that invest in the future of Nigerian youths.
