FG Urged to Assist Brilliant Students Adamawa From Abel Orih Idoma in Yola Federal Government has been urged to assist the 7 students of Dominion Academy Koma in Jada Local Government area of Adamawa State, who performed brilliantly in the last national common entrance examination. These graduands were denied the opportunity to sit for a test that would qualify them for placement into federal secondary schools. The plea was made by the Project Coordinator of Kings Call of Koma Hills, Pastor Kayode Momolosho, during a press briefing at NUJ Press Centre, Jimeta-Yola. He said all formalities have been completed to ensure that graduands gain admissions into federal and state secondary schools but they could not secure placement. In an emotion-laden voice, Momolosho added that if students of the academy cannot gain entry into secondary schools this year, they and others in the area would be discouraged to get educated. Momlosho noted that the children were softly denied the opportunity to be admitted into federal government secondary schools despite their brilliant performance, stressing that the children who scored 449 point above cut-off point of 391 and 360 for boys and girls respectfully were not given admission. He explained that the results of the children could not be sent on a reason that their school, Koma Academy, could not be located and that when the Resource Centre of the Ministry of Education, Yola, decided to send the students' result, an officer over-seeing Jada Local Government in the office of state Ministry of Education, Yola, refused to collect it. He said since then all effort to get the state Commissioner of Education and related authorities on the matter did not yield positive result and therefore appealed to the state government to look into the matter with a view to resolving it so that the future of the children would not be threatened. The project coordinator said education should not be a preserve of some privileged few but a right to all children.
