Youths of Agboyi-Ketu; all Secondary School leavers thronged the venue of the screening exercise to get on the train for the free JAMB forms that the mother of Agboyi-Ketu had provided for them.

This Free 1,000 JAMB Forms project is only the first edition. The Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu; Hon. Adetola Abubakar is set to make this an annual project!
