In a testament to his unwavering commitment to education and community welfare, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa has once again embarked on his annual initiative to provide free GCE and JAMB forms to deserving but financially challenged students.
This year marks the 20th edition of this noble endeavor, further solidifying Obasa’s legacy as a champion of accessible education.
For the past two decades, Obasa, a dedicated Democrat, has upheld the belief that political offices are a sacred trust, entrusted to serve the interests of the people. With this ethos at the forefront of his actions, he has consistently worked to prioritize the needs of the less privileged, particularly in the realm of education.
In continuation of this tradition, the 2024 edition of the program has already benefitted over 1000 aspiring students seeking entry into higher institutions. The seamless registration process has been facilitated by the newly established Agege Local Government CBT Center, which boasts JAMB approval and ensures accessibility for all beneficiaries.
This humanitarian effort, personally sponsored by Obasa and supported by his friends, demonstrates a steadfast commitment to uplifting the youth and breaking down barriers to education.
Coordinated by the Senior Special Assistant to the Speaker on Education, Hon. Aruna Isola Ogunsola, and Hon. Dare Ojole, SSA to the Speaker on Youth Affairs, the program operates with efficiency and compassion, embodying the spirit of collective responsibility towards societal progress.
The palpable joy evident on the faces of the students and their families serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative impact of Obasa’s generosity.
By alleviating the financial burden associated with JAMB registration, he not only opens doors of opportunity but also instills a sense of hope and empowerment within the community.
As Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa celebrates two decades of unwavering service through this program, his legacy of compassion and dedication to education shines brightly, inspiring future generations to uphold the values of inclusivity and social responsibility.
In a world often characterized by challenges and disparities, Obasa’s steadfast commitment to uplifting the underprivileged serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating the path towards a more equitable and prosperous society.
