Following positive reactions and instant impact on the lives of his constituents, the Member Representing Isiala Ngwa North State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Collins Ugochukwu Iheonunekwu, has approved the release of an additional One Million Naira (₦1,000,000), for this year’s Free JAMB Registration Initiative.
