In a significant development, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the Joint Education Opportunities Group (JEOG) have announced a revised date for the highly anticipated First National Conference on Equal Access to Higher Education in Nigeria. This groundbreaking event aims to address the pressing issue of unequal educational opportunities and foster inclusivity across the nation.

With a focus on promoting equal opportunities for all, the event aims to identify and address the systemic barriers that hinder students from marginalized communities from pursuing higher education.

Key topics to be covered during the conference include:

1. Enhancing scholarship programs and financial aid initiatives to support underprivileged students.
