A philanthropist and educationist, Dr Kazeem Akande, has stated that he feels fulfilled as beneficiaries of free tutorial classes who scored good grades in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The philanthropist, who had organised several interventions through his initiative noted that he is happy and fulfilled that beneficiaries of his free tutorial centres across the state performed well in the 2024 UTME Examination.
He said this on Thursday during a media chat with newsmen in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
Akande noted that all beneficiaries who scored above 200 in the examination will be supported in securing admission into their chosen institutions adding that measures will be put in place with partnered institutions.
In his words, he said “I am happy and fulfilled that participants of the classes organised for admission seekers performed well in the recently concluded 2024 UTME Examinations despite the report on the percentage of the performance of candidates in the 2024 UTME Examination.
“This initiative is my little way of contributing to the growth of education in the state as we all know the importance of education and youths who are the future of tomorrow.
“We started a well-coordinated tutorial class across 10 wards in Ido Local Government; some of the centres which include, ATM Building Eleshinmeta, Leo Community High School Oloko, Saint Michael Owode, Community High School Bako, United Secondary School Omi Adio, Saint John Secondary School Omi Onigbagbo, Community High School Bakatari, Community Primary School Lasokun, Community High School Apete Ayegun Apete, Akufo High School Akufo, Community High School Ido and Community High School Ologuneru.
“The tutorial was aimed to cater for candidates of senior secondary school Certificate Examinations and UTME examinations. The tutorial holds across 12 centres in Ido Local Government with over 700 students benefitting weekly from it”, he concluded.
