NO fewer than 65 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) are to write the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board examination this year.

The candidates are students who have completed the Senior Secondary School at the secondary school located inside the IDP camp in Uhogua, Ego Local Government Area of Edo State.

Coordinator of the camp, Pastor Solomon Folorusho, said this on Monday while speaking with journalists, adding that about 200 IDPs would also write the National Examination Council (NECO) and West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) this year.

He said as students resume next week, the secondary inside the camp was in need of notebooks, textbooks, mathematical sets calculators, pencils and biros among other items.

He said, “We need those materials because 65 IDPs are going to write JAMB, while about 200 will write NECO and WASCE this year.

“We need to prepare them for the examinations; hence, we called for financial assistance to see them through the examinations.

“These children are Nigeria and we have to do everything possible to make sure that they are educated.

“The state government has handed over blocks of classrooms it built to us and Nigerians have been very generous to us in ensuring that the children actualise their dreams.”
