Bayelsa:”Free JAMB Forms Spark Bright Futures in Egbemo-Angalabiri”

By Passman Akpos

History is often shaped not by loud promises, but by quiet acts of service with lasting impact. In Egbemo-Angalabiri Domain, such history is being written by High Chief David Atiye, PhD, the Compound Chief of Orutala Compound, whose commitment to education continues to set a powerful example.

In a landmark initiative aimed at expanding access to higher education, the Atiye Foundation has distributed Batch A of 40 free JAMB forms to indigene students across the Egbemo-Angalabiri Domain. The gesture marks another significant milestone in the educational development of the community.

For many families, the cost of JAMB registration remains a major obstacle to pursuing tertiary education. By removing this financial burden, High Chief Atiye’s intervention opens doors to opportunity, ambition, and a future once out of reach for many young people. Beyond the forms themselves, the initiative represents hope—hope that talent will no longer be limited by circumstance.

Community members have praised the move as a timely and strategic investment in human capital, noting that education remains the most sustainable pathway to development. Observers say the initiative reflects High Chief Atiye’s long-standing belief that empowering the youth is the surest way to secure the future of the Egbemo-Angalabiri Domain.

As beneficiaries prepare to take their next academic steps, the impact of this gesture is already resonating across the community—reinforcing the idea that true leadership is measured by service, vision, and the lives uplifted along the way.
