Actress and philanthropist Ambassador Tonto Dikeh has reaffirmed her commitment to educational empowerment in Nigeria, announcing a massive initiative by her foundation to sponsor 5,000 students annually.
The Tonto Dikeh Foundation is kicking off this ambitious goal by offering free JAMB registration for 1,000 eligible students in Port Harcourt, Lagos, and Abuja.
In a recent announcement, Dikeh detailed the immediate plan, which will provide fully sponsored JAMB registration for 500 students in Port Harcourt, 250 in Lagos, and 250 in Abuja. The slots, which are limited and carry no registration fee, will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
This initiative is part of a much larger vision. “At The Tonto Dikeh Foundation, education is at the heart of our mission,” Dikeh wrote. “We firmly believe that every child deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
She elaborated that the foundation is committed to helping 5,000 Nigerian students return to school each year through full or partial sponsorships.

The goal extends beyond simply covering educational expenses. “We aim to empower these young minds to grow into responsible, skilled individuals who will contribute meaningfully to national development and the future of our country,” she stated.
The entire project is sponsored by The Tonto Dikeh Foundation on behalf of the King Andre Dikeh Foundation.
To facilitate the process, Dikeh informed the public that her team will release the phone numbers for the different state coordinators next week and requested that interested parties refrain from sending direct messages (DMs).
