How to Apply for FG Free JAMB Registration for 50,000 Students

The Federal Government has unveiled a free JAMB registration scheme under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at helping 50,000 students register for the 2027 UTME. The initiative ensures that financial barriers do not prevent talented students from pursuing higher education.

Each selected student will receive ₦8,500, covering the full cost of registration with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, allowing them to focus entirely on preparing for the examination.

Who Can Benefit

Eligible students must:

• Be a resident or native of a Southeast state
• Be qualified to sit for the 2027 UTME
• Be identified and verified through official Renewed Hope Agenda channels in their state or community

The programme emphasizes fairness and strategic empowerment, prioritizing students who demonstrate academic potential and need.

How to Apply

The FG free JAMB registration scheme does not require online forms, payment, or third-party intermediaries. To participate:

1. Selection by Renewed Hope Coordinators – State and local coordinators identify potential beneficiaries.
2. Community and School Verification – Eligible students are verified through schools or local communities.
3. Official Notification – Coordinators directly inform selected students and parents.

Students and parents are warned to ignore unofficial websites or individuals asking for money, as the programme is fully funded and free.

Why This Programme Matters

Education is widely recognized as the backbone of sustainable development. By removing financial barriers for tens of thousands of students, the FG scheme:

• Expands access to higher education
• Supports future doctors, engineers, teachers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and innovators
• Strengthens Nigeria’s youth empowerment and human capital

Belusochukwu Enwerem, National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Agenda, described the programme as a strategic investment in the country’s future, not charity.

Message to Students and Parents

Officials urge beneficiaries to:

• Prepare seriously for their examinations
• Approach the opportunity with discipline, determination, and excellence

Parents are reassured that the initiative is designed to ease financial pressure while giving every student a fair chance to succeed academically.
