No fewer than 400 prospective candidates in Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency of Oyo State are set to benefit from the 2026 Free JAMB Forms initiative of the Akinjide Kazeem Akinola Foundation (AKA Foundation).
The educational support programme, which commenced in 2022, is designed to ease access to tertiary education for young people through free Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration, tutorial classes, and scholarship opportunities for outstanding beneficiaries.
Findings revealed that the number of beneficiaries has steadily increased over the years, from 150 candidates in 2022 to 200 in 2023, 300 in 2024, and 400 in 2025.
According to information made available to journalists in Ibadan, the 2026 edition of the initiative will again accommodate 400 candidates, with the free UTME forms to be distributed evenly between Egbeda and Ona-Ara Local Government Areas that make up the federal constituency.
Speaking on the initiative, founder of the foundation and House of Representatives aspirant for Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, Akinola Kazeem, through his Media Assistant, Akinloye Yusuf said the programme reflects his long-standing belief that education remains the strongest tool for sustainable development and effective representation.
He noted that his aspiration for public office is anchored on human capital development, stressing that empowering young people through education would remain a core priority if elected to represent the constituency at the National Assembly.
The foundation added that the initiative is part of its broader commitment to educational advancement and youth empowerment, describing it as a non-political intervention aimed at securing a better future for the next generation.
