In March, Dr Monday and Ebi Okonny Foundation sponsored the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB)  registration fees for Imamiteemy Ipah, Inmoode Odighiemugh, Joshua Krama and Elizabeth Dibia, youths from Abua.

The youths completed the JAMB registration process at the Ignatius Ajuru University Of Education and the Director of ICT, Professor Priye Iyalla-Amadi, who witnessed the event, encouraged the youth to take full advantage of this opportunity provided to them by the Dr Monday and Ebi Okonny Foundation. 

Kitoye Okonny  along with staff from the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre at Ignatius Ajuru University Of Education welcomed the youths to the University and guided them with the JAMB registration process.

The JAMB is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions. The board conducts entrance Matriculation Examinations for entry into all Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in Nigeria. The board is also charged with the responsibility to administer similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian public and private monotechnics, polytechnics, and colleges of educations. All of these candidates must have obtained the West Africa School Certificate, now West African Examinations Council, WAEC, or its equivalent, National Examination Council (Nigeria), NECO.

Every year, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board conducts an examination that determines if a student will be admitted to higher education. 

Youths from some families are not always able to afford the fees for the JAMB entrance examination and this is where the Dr Monday and Ebi Okonny Foundation came in!
