Pastor Adeboye emphasized the critical role of education in shaping the future of individuals and the nation, stating, “This gesture reflects RCCG’s dedication to empowering young people and promoting education as a vital tool for personal and national development.”

He added that financial constraints should never be a barrier to accessing education and that the church is stepping in to bridge this gap for students who might otherwise miss out on the opportunity to pursue higher education.

Encouragement for Participation

The RCCG Youth Province I is calling on students in need to take advantage of this initiative. By alleviating the cost of JAMB registration, the church aims to give students the opportunity to focus on preparing for their examinations and advancing their academic journeys.
