Yaumi sponsors 250 Magumeri indigenes for 2026 JAMB
.. As ES leads students to registration centre in Maiduguri
Magumeri Local Government Council Chairman, Engr. Dr. Ali Yaumi, has approved and sponsored the registration of 250 Magumeri indigenes for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The beneficiaries include qualified Magumeri indigenes from various secondary schools and students from Government Day Senior Secondary School Magumeri (GDSSS)—an institution established in 2022 during Dr. Yaumi’s previous tenure as Chairman. Since its inception, the Council has consistently supported the students by covering their WAEC, NECO, and JAMB registration fees, in addition to facilitating their admissions into higher institutions nationwide.
The initiative complements the education-focused policies of Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, aimed at expanding access to quality education in the state.
The Education Secretary of the Local Education Authority (LEA) Magumeri, Umar Lawan Ardoram, led the students to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) registration centre in Maiduguri to oversee the registration process.
Addressing the candidates at the centre, Ardoram assured them of the council’s continued support and urged them to remain focused and disciplined in their academic pursuits. He encouraged them to serve as worthy ambassadors of Magumeri, Borno State, and Nigeria.
Also present at the registration centre were representative of Magumeri Higher Institution Students' Association (MAHISA), representatives of the Dr. Yaumi Foundation, and officials of the Borno Information Communication Technology Development Agency (BICTDA) Digital Literacy Training Centre, Magumeri, who monitored the exercise.
The sponsorship is part of ongoing efforts by the Magumeri Local Government Council to invest in human capital development and improve access to higher education for its youth.
