Following the release of the 2021 UTME by the Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB), a former aide of Ekiti State Governor, Hon. Israel Adesokan (JARU) has received the results of the 150 candidates to whom he distributed free JAMB forms earlier this year.
Adesokan in his reaction to the results said he would give scholarship to the best three candidates while two others who are runners-up would also get financial support from him for their education.
The former security aide said he was impressed that some of the students performed well while the others performed above average considering the overall performance across the country.
He said his decision to give scholarship to the brilliant students was borne out of the promise that he would handsomely reward the five best candidates who score 250 and above in the examination.
" I have always said that the best form of empowerment is education. I am happy to receive the results of the indigent students that we gave free JAMB forms earlier this year. Helping the younger generation to access quality education is the best way to prepare them for the future. I did promise that I would handsomely reward the five who score 250 and above. We are all aware that the results this year across the country are not too fine. Regardless of this, we still have some of our candidates who scored more than 200. We will help those who did well with their admission and we will give scholarship to the best three and two other runners-up”, he said.
According to the result which was made available to the media, Adegoke Ademola who scored 259 had the highest mark among the train of other candidates who scored well above 200.
Filani Adebowale who came second had 248 while
Alfonso Ayomide scored 226.
Adesokan called on well to do Iyin indigenes to support those who did well in the examination by either giving them scholarships or helping them secure admissions.
It would be recalled that Adesokan gave out free JAMB form to 150 students who are from Iyin Ekiti with the aim of raising a generation of scholars who would do the State proud in the near future.
