Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru launches an education initiative to support students preparing for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams.
Osawaru, who recently made headlines due to her relationship with Nigerian music icon 2Baba, announced that she will sponsor the registration of 150 students for the upcoming JAMB examinations.
The free JAMB registration forms will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, giving students in Edo State an opportunity to sit for the exam without financial burden. The initiative aims to ease the financial strain on students and families while promoting access to higher education.
Scholarships for Outstanding Students
In addition to covering JAMB registration fees, Osawaru also pledged to award full university scholarships to the five students who achieve the highest JAMB scores. The scholarship program will fully fund their education, ensuring that outstanding students receive the support needed to excel in their academic pursuits.
Osawaru made the announcement in a video message, emphasizing her commitment to education and youth empowerment. “The time has come to push education to a higher level,” she said. “As a politician, I am using my position to offer 150 JAMB registration forms to students in Edo State. It will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The top five students with the highest scores will receive full sponsorship for their university education.”
Her initiative aligns with her broader vision of investing in education as a means of fostering development in Edo State. By reducing financial barriers, she hopes to encourage students to strive for academic excellence.
A Growing Public Profile
Osawaru’s scholarship announcement comes amid growing public attention surrounding her personal life. Recently, Nigerian music legend 2Baba publicly acknowledged their relationship and expressed his intention to marry her. The revelation has sparked widespread discussion, drawing further interest in Osawaru’s political and philanthropic activities.
Despite the media buzz, Natasha remains focused on governance and social impact. Her latest initiative reinforces her dedication to empowering young people and investing in the future of Edo State.
Encouraging Academic Excellence
As JAMB registration opens, many students struggle to afford the required fees. Natasha’s intervention will provide much-needed relief and motivation. The promise of scholarships for top performers further incentivizes students to aim for high scores.
Education advocates in the state have applauded her move, calling it a “game-changer” for students from low-income backgrounds. Many believe that such initiatives can bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity, ensuring that talent does not go to waste due to financial constraints.
How Students Can Apply
Students interested in benefiting from Natasha’s initiative are encouraged to act quickly, as the registration process follows a first-come, first-served approach. Further details on the application process are expected to be released in the coming days through her official channels.
With this program, Osawaru not only cements her influence in politics but also strengthens her reputation as a leader who prioritizes education and youth development. If successfully implemented, her initiative could set a precedent for other politicians and public figures to invest more in education.
As Edo State students gear up for JAMB, Osawaru’s support provides hope for many who aspire to further their education but face financial hurdles. Her promise of scholarships for top scorers sends a clear message: hard work and excellence will be rewarded.
