Lawmaker Distributes Free JAMB Pins to Over 300 Students, Pledges Continued Academic Support

 


More than 300 students across Ikeja Constituency have benefited from free JAMB registration pins distributed by the lawmaker representing Ikeja Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Prince Seyi Lawal.

The presentation ceremony, held on Thursday at the Ikeja Constituency Office, drew excited applicants and their parents, as the initiative marked the third edition of the free JAMB pin distribution in the constituency.

Speaking at the event, Lawal said the programme has recorded remarkable success in previous editions, noting that beneficiaries in the first and second batches performed above average in their examinations.

“This initiative is the third series in our constituency. The first and second editions produced wonderful results, with many of our students scoring high marks in their JAMB examinations. They made me proud and encouraged me to do even more,” he said.

The lawmaker urged the students to remain focused and determined as they prepare for their examinations, stressing the importance of making their parents and the constituency proud. He further pledged additional rewards for outstanding academic performance, promising enhanced support for students who attain a Grade Point Average of 3.5 and above in their first year at the university.

Lawal also expressed optimism that over 100 beneficiaries would secure admission into universities of their choice this year.

Advising the students on life beyond secondary school, he encouraged them to be disciplined and selective in choosing friends at the university level.

“At the university, you begin another stage of life. You will meet people with different characters. Choose wisely who you associate and study with, so you do not fall into bad company or cultism,” he cautioned.

In a chat with journalists after the event, the Ikeja lawmaker assured constituents of more developmental projects, especially if given the mandate for a second term in office.

“I know where the shoe pinches and how to attend to the needs of my people. I am there to represent them as their servant, not as a leader. A servant listens to the complaints of the people,” he said, highlighting his track record as a grassroots politician, former Supervising Councillor, Councillor, and council leader.

The initiative has been widely commended by residents, who described it as a significant boost to educational advancement in Ikeja Constituency.
