DanMama CEO, Saleem Goje, Offers 1,000 Free JAMB Forms To Students

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Dan Mama Smart Homes Ltd, Alhaji (Dr.) Saleem Iliyasu Goje, has announced the sponsorship of 1,000 candidates for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) across Taraba State.

 

Goje, in a public notice, said the initiative is aimed at easing the financial burden on parents and guardians amid prevailing economic challenges, while expanding access to higher education for young people in the state.

 

Under the scheme, 1,000 eligible students will have their JAMB registration fees fully paid, at no cost to them, through approved JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.

 

He stressed that the scholarship programme would be implemented with strict transparency, fairness and due process, noting that beneficiaries would be selected based on clear and open criteria.

 

"There will be no favoritism, no shortcuts and no hidden agenda. This scholarship is designed to support deserving students and give equal opportunity to all applicants," the statement said.

 

The initiative, tagged "Saleem Iliyasu Goje JAMB Scholarship", is open to candidates across the 16 local government areas of Taraba State who meet the eligibility requirements for the 2026 UTME.

 

According to the organisers, the programme will ensure that registration is conducted only at approved JAMB CBT centres, and that the limited slots are allocated strictly on merit.

 

Education stakeholders in the state have described the intervention as timely, particularly as rising registration costs have continued to limit access to tertiary education for students from low-income backgrounds.

 

Dan Mama Smart Homes Ltd, through its CEO, has in recent years been involved in community-focused interventions, with the JAMB sponsorship scheme marking one of its largest education-support initiatives in Taraba State.
