The Chairman of Ikorodu West Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Otunba Sulaiman Kazeem, has described the Free JAMB 2025 Programme as a huge success, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to educational empowerment and youth development.
Speaking at the distribution of another batch of free JAMB 2025 forms at the council secretariat, Otunba Kazeem expressed satisfaction with the impact of the initiative, noting that it has fulfilled his promise to support indigent students in the local community.
Commitment to Education and Community Development
Addressing attendees, Otunba Kazeem emphasized that educational support has remained a core part of his administration’s vision, aligning with the THEMES+ agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“It has become our tradition since the inception of this administration to give back to our community. This I have sustained consistently, especially in the area of education, through various youth-focused programmes that promote inclusiveness and participation.
This initiative is very dear to my heart. My administration has been consistent in ensuring that no student in Ikorodu West is denied access to education. Paying for these forms is a great relief for parents and a stepping stone for students to pursue higher education.”
Positive Feedback and Plans to Expand the Initiative
Otunba Kazeem revealed that feedback from previous beneficiaries has been overwhelmingly positive, with many already pursuing degrees in various institutions across Nigeria. He pledged to expand the initiative in his second term, ensuring that even more students benefit from this life-changing programme.
“The success stories from our past beneficiaries serve as motivation for us to continue. Some of them are now in tertiary institutions, fulfilling their academic dreams.
In my second term, I pledge to double the gains so more people can benefit from this opportunity. Our modest achievements over the last three and a half years have been made possible through judicious use of available resources, and I remain committed to doing even more.”
Encouraging Students to Work Hard for Success
While addressing the JAMB 2025 beneficiaries, Otunba Kazeem urged them to embrace hard work and dedication in order to excel in their examinations.
“The only way to pass your exams with flying colors is by studying hard. There is no shortcut to success—you must be willing to put in extra effort to achieve your dreams. No pain, no gain.
This free JAMB form is an opportunity for you, and I urge you to make the best use of it. I wish you all excellent performance and outstanding results.”
Commitment to Ongoing Projects and Community Support
Otunba Kazeem also reiterated his administration’s commitment to completing all ongoing projects in Ikorodu West LCDA, while seeking continued support from the residents.
“Let us rise with commitment and the spirit of service to contribute to the growth of our community. Everyone has a role to play, and together, we can achieve more.
We have done it before, and with your support, we will do it again.”
Conclusion
The Free JAMB 2025 Initiative by the Ikorodu West LCDA remains a beacon of hope for students aspiring for higher education. With this intervention, Otunba Sulaiman Kazeem continues to empower the youth, reduce financial burdens on parents, and reaffirm his administration’s commitment to educational development and community progress.
