ILARO-YEWA, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA – In continuation of his sustained educational support initiatives and in keeping with his established tradition of empowering young scholars, Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi (APC, Ogun West) has successfully sponsored and registered 4,000 indigent students for the 2026 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.
According to a release e-signed and made available to members of the League of Yewa-Awori Media Practitioners (LOYAMP) by High Chief Kayode Odunaro, Media Adviser to Senator Adeola, and shared with StarTrend Int’l Magazine and its online platform, the programme – financed by the senator under the “SEN YAYI FREE JAMB 2026” initiative – concluded on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
The statement confirmed that a total of 4,000 candidates were successfully enrolled, with their examination PINs fully provided, ensuring their participation in the forthcoming 2026 JAMB exercise.
Commenting on the success of the programme, Senator Adeola said the programme is another leg of his personal educational empowerment for indigent but brilliant citizens preparatory to his scholarship and bursary facilitation for tertiary education institutions’ students.
“As far as I can help it, none of our children will miss educational opportunities arising out of adverse economic predicament of their parents or guardians”, he stated.
Successful candidates cut across all the three senatorial districts of Ogun State with 2183 coming from Ogun West, 1358 coming from Ogun Central and 418 from Ogun East.
Some of the candidates that applied and are yet to get their PINs due wrong information supplied in their profiles and being underage as discovered by JAMB and other reasons are being further assisted to see the possibility of getting their PINs.
The Free JAMB programme of the Senator that has been running for years is well received by appreciative beneficiaries and their parents.
Alhaji Suara Adeyemi from Ipokia Local Government whose daughter successfully got her PIN in the programme said the Senator’s gesture was a welcome financial relief for his family at this period after payment of numerous school fees of other siblings of the beneficiary seeking admission to higher institution.
Also posting on the social media handle of the Senator, a beneficiary Mr. Henry Olaitan, from Odeda LGA said that he would have missed doing the entry examination as his guardian cannot afford the fees for himself and two of his children.
