The immediate past Governor of Adamawa State, Senator Muhammadu Umar Jibrilla (Bindow) in his quest for quality education to the less privileged, has paid millions of Naira for students to get good coaching to enable them perform well in the 2022 WAEC/NECO exams.
The Exams Officer of Fombina Royal Academy, Mr. Dunama K Ajangi in an interview with our correspondent, said the former Governor has decided to alleviate the education struggles of hundreds of students across the 21 local government areas of the state to obtain the required standards of university entry and JAMB score.
Ajangi said Senator Jibrilla was motivated to come to provide succour of the hundreds of indigenes of the state on hearing how Fombina Royal Academy has been coaching students to pass their WAEC and NECO including JAMB with ease.
He revealed that the former governor has taken special interest in improving the education sector of the state and is concerned about the future of the youth.
He said many students since the last term from Gombi, Mubi North, Mubi South, and Maiha have come for documentation, accreditation, and coaching has commenced in earnest.
Mr. Dunama also told our correspondent that after the millions of Naira Bindow spent on giving them the special training which will cover the first, second and third term, he is aiming at paying the WAEC/NECO fees for them in due course.
“The former governor has done much to hundreds of students in our state. Today, he sent a delegation to make sure that the scout for students that are finding it difficult to pass their WAEC/NECO and JAMB in hundreds in each local government area come to Fombina for special training.
“I’m sure with the zeal and seriousness I’m seeing from the people he has delegated, the former Governor is ready to support Adamawa state in the area of Education. I also see him planning to place them on scholarship after paying for their coming final exams.
“I commend the committee for doing this as they are carefully going about selecting students irrespective of tribe or religion. On our part as the coaches, we will make sure we give them the best training, ” Dunama said.
The exams officer however, called on the benefiting students to commit themselves to serious studies to come out with good results because it is the only thing they will do to please Bindow and encourage him to do more.
