By Samuel Luka, Bauchi
To assuage the current harsh economic situation on the parents, Senator Representing Bauchi South senatorial district, Shehu Buba Umar has settled fees for several students sitting for the 2023/2024 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination within his constituency.
Expressing their gratitude, some of the students that spoke with newsmen in Bauchi on Monday, said that the gesture had relieved their parents of the burden to pay for their JAMB examination as they kept struggling to put food on their tables.
Jabir Khalid, one of the beneficiaries who admitted that his parents couldn’t pay for his JAMB registration because they had no money, thanked the senator for the gesture, including organizing JAMB lessons for them to help them pass the examination.
“Senator Buba came to my rescue and paid for me and many more students. I’m writing my exam on April 19, 2024,” he said.
Another beneficiary, Khadija Hassan who was elated by the gesture, said her parents tried and paid for the first JAMB examination she wrote but couldn’t raise the money for this second one.
“I am privileged to be among the beneficiaries even though my parents are doing their best to see that I further my education because they paid for the first one but the second wasn’t possible”, she said.
Also, Abubakar Ibrahim, said that the senator had supported them by paying for their JAMB examination in this difficult time when things were hard especially, for the poor masses.
“Sen. Buba has shown us that he cares about our education to the extent of paying for our jamb examination fee and I am among the lucky beneficiaries”, he added.
Also speaking, Mr Mohammed Dahiru, the Programmes Supervisor, said that the Senator had paid for the JAMB examination of not less than 350 selected science students in his constituency.
According to him, all the successful beneficiaries would also be sponsored by the Senator in any university of their choice within the country, urging them to be more serious and read well in order to triumph.
