Okene-Ogori/Magongo Federal Constituency, Kogi State, have been registered free by Hon Tijani Ahmed, to sit 2022 WAEC examination. The House of Representative member representating Okene-Ogori/Magongo Fedreal constituency has undertaken to bear part of the
cost.
He announced the kind gesture to the relief of the students and their parents/guardians when his central working committee went on project assessment in some schools led by his personal aide Hon. Adams Ibrahim Kadoka.
According to his aid, “this effort is geared towards stopping our
youths from leaving secondary schools without obtaining the school leaving
certificate by the Honorable.
” Hon. Damisa, who is the Chairman Committee on FCT and Ancillary matters,
stressed that only serious
prospective WAEC candidates in all public schools
in his constituency would benefit from the waec
examination fees.
“It is better you stay with your children and send
them to community schools where they will be safe
than to give them away to those who will turn them
to slaves in townships.
“Some of us include Rt. Hon. Tijani~Ahmed Yusuf Damisa attended village schools despite
their obvious challenges and today those who were
trained in private schools are not better
than us,” he stated.
