The Professor Isa Pantami Foundation is promoting educational equity by covering the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration fees for 1,000 underprivileged students across Gombe State and four neighboring states.
This initiative reflects the Foundation’s strong commitment to youth empowerment and expanding access to higher education in Northern Nigeria.
Of the 1,000 beneficiaries, former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Pantami, personally sponsored 550 students—more than half of the total. Additionally, Salisu Abdurrazak Sahel funded 200 students, while Nafi’u Muhammad supported 250.
Their combined efforts have made this initiative a reality, demonstrating a shared dedication to fostering educational opportunities and driving socio-economic progress.
Through this program, the Professor Isa Pantami Foundation reaffirms its mission to create a fairer educational system and nurture the next generation of leaders and professionals.
By investing in 1,000 students, the organisation and its partners aim to inspire hope, drive academic excellence, and contribute to the long-term development of the region.
“This initiative is a testament to the power of collaboration and the impact of targeted educational support. We are empowering communities through education and creating pathways for sustainable progress,” the Foundation noted.
