UTME: 1,000 Candidates Get Free Forms In Ekiti
No less than 1, 000 prospective Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates in Ekiti State are set to benefit from the distribution of free Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) forms by Hon Bimbo Daramola, a lawmaker in the House of Representatives.
Daramola, who on Friday flagged-off distribution of the exam materials, told the prospective candidates that the move is a step towards restoring the state’s identity in academics.
The distribution exercise codenamed “Teach Them How To Fish Platform” seeks to set the beneficiaries on a trail of excellence, said the lawmaker.

“We have collectively pressed the RESET BUTTON to A Fresh Start, New Hope to Restore Ekiti’s Identity, he said.
“ As much as possible no students in the state desirous of having education should be denied of such as a result of lack of means or absence of opportunities, said the 2019 Ekiti gubernatorial candidate.
“We committed to get 1000 JAMB forms FREE for many who may not be so lucky and because of the overriding considerations not that the millions we will spend can’t be kept in bank accountS or used to solve my personal challenges or used to build financial war chest for “purchase of delegates” as I have been so adviced particularly those who feel this is politically motivated.”
“But when we saw that destinies can’t or should not be put on hold by another year we felt primaries of gubernatorial election can wait,” said Daramola.
