RUME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION HAS PAID JAMB REGISTRATION FEES FOR OVER FIFTY INDIGENT YOUTHS

 Once again in its continuous and relentless efforts of supporting the indigent youths to have an opportunity to go to the University the Rume’s Educational Foundation has paid the JAMB registration fees for over fifty candidates in Mile 8 Fer Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The Coordinator of the Foundation Bildr Raphael Rume said it is disheartening to see that in this century a family does not have a single graduate simply because they cannot afford to pay for the registration of the examination.

He noted that it is an annual programme which in started in 2019 and it is yielding much fruits as some of the beneficiaries were able to secure admission into the tertiary institutions.

Raphael said the foundation also embarked on provision of writing materials to pupils in the mile 8 Fer community, as it seeks to expand the scope of the educational intervention to include career counselling, mentoring, and workshop for the parents on the need to support the education of their children.

The programme facilitators Danat Emmanuel Tanko explained that about one hundred candidates participated in the pre-UTME examination on which over fifty of them successfully passed the test and are selected.

He appreciated the Rume’s family for the wonderful initiatives, noting that it will go a long way in supporting some of the indigent families.

A youth leader Shuabu Christopher and some of the beneficiaries expressed their appreciation and delights for having the opportunity to sit for the JAMB examination.

The Rumes Educational foundation has since 2019 engaged in sponsoring candidates for JAMB examination, mentoring the youths on career choice and also donating instructional and writing materials to pupils and students in Mile 8 Fer community.
