Mrs Oyebanji said the state government had consistently procured and distributed 3,000 JAMB forms annually, describing the initiative as part of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s broader efforts to extend the dividends of democracy to youths and advance his administration’s human capital development agenda.
“Under the purposeful and visionary leadership of Governor Oyebanji, government has continued to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to human capital development, with education occupying a central place in its development agenda. This administration has consistently pursued policies and programmes that remove barriers to learning and ensure every child has the opportunity to optimise his or her potential,” she said.

Dr. Oyebanji says the distribution of free JAMB e-PINs for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) goes beyond facilitating registration, describing it as a deliberate effort to open doors of opportunity and reaffirm the belief that every hardworking and talented Ekiti child deserves a fair chance to pursue higher education.
The Chairperson of the Agency for Adult and Non-Formal Education, Chief Moji Fafure, described the gesture as a clear demonstration of the government’s responsiveness to the educational aspirations of the people.
Also speaking, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Tertiary Education, Prof. Akeem Azeez; Head of Service, Dr. Folakemi Olomojobi; Commissioner for Information, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun; and Commissioner for Education, Dr. Bimpe Aderiye, lauded the administration for its consistent support to less-privileged students across the state.
