In a major boost to educational development in Adamawa State, 1,000 young Nigerians under the BOYA Education Support Project have successfully sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), courtesy of the Free JAMB Registration initiative sponsored by Barr. Aliyu Wakili Boya.
The initiative, a flagship intervention of the Honourable Member representing Fufore/Song Constituency in Adamawa State and Chairman House Committee on Police Institutions aimed at empowering indigent students, saw beneficiaries take their Computer-Based Tests (CBT) across designated centers in the state at no personal cost, following full sponsorship by Barr. Boya.
Speaking after the examinations, the beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude to the philanthropist for his intervention, pledging to uphold the values of hard work, dignity, and service. They assured Boya of their determination to excel and serve as worthy ambassadors of their communities.
In a symbolic move, the students unanimously adopted the title of “BOYA Ambassadors,” pledging commitment to promoting peace, unity, and educational advancement in line with the vision espoused by Barr. Boya.
We are grateful to Barr. Aliyu Wakili Boya for believing in us and investing in our future. We promise to make him proud and represent our constituency with dignity
The BOYA Education Support Project, according to observers, has not only lifted financial burdens off hundreds of families but has also reinforced the critical role of educational empowerment in securing the future of Nigerian youth.
One of the beneficiaries, Amina Bashir, speaking on behalf of her colleagues, said: “We are grateful to Barr. Aliyu Wakili Boya for believing in us and investing in our future. We promise to make him proud and represent our constituency with dignity.”
Similarly, Ahmed Ibrahim and Augustine Ayuba, who also sat for the exams, described the initiative as a life-changing opportunity that has restored hope to many aspiring students who would otherwise have been unable to register.
BOYA Education Support Project will continue to serve as a catalyst for youth empowerment
Barr. Boya, in a brief remark, reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that build human capital, noting that education remains the most sustainable pathway to national development and peacebuilding.
As the candidates await their results, hopes remain high that the BOYA Education Support Project will continue to serve as a catalyst for youth empowerment and a model for community-driven educational interventions across Nigeria.
