AISA Pays JAMB fees of Over 60 Students.
The Abuja Indigenous Students Association (AISA) has paid the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) fees of 62 students across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja political wards, at the sum of N5, 000 each. and also distributed quality exercise books to primary schools within the FCT in view to enhance teaching and learning.
During the Presentation the books at the Kwali Town Hall in Kwali area council on Saturday, the National President of AISA, Comrade AbdulAziz Abdullahi, said the exercise was done specifically in line with their philosophy of giving back to the society which nurtured and trained them.
He said the essence of his leadership is to impact positively on the populace, explaining that the paid JAMB fees and donated exercise books were “their token and modest way of giving back to the society, particularly the less privileged at the grassroots across FCT.”
In his words: “We are employing this medium to enlighten our students and youth about the importance of education, and to emphasise that, if you are not informed through education, you will be deformed.
“As the security situation in the country is being breached occasionally, it’s high time students and youths are educated on some security tactics for one to save his or her life in events of unforeseen circumstances; caution students and youths on the dangers of involvement in crime to social and economic development of the society and country.”
The AISA national president also pointed out that, “quality basic education is non-negotiable, because with sound basic education, tertiary training will be walk over. It’s disheartening to see pupils without single exercise books while some times you see them with one exercise book for all the subjects whenever you visit public schools.”
Comrade Abdullahi called on leaders at all levels across FCT to partner with AISA with a view to enhance the scheme, expand and ensure a far wider scope amongst our communities and to also come up with more robust programmes aimed at fostering educational and the overall progress of our indigenous communities.
