The JariBurs Initiative is an educational intervention for constituents midwieved by Sen Jarigbe Agom, to ameliorate student’s hardship in the pursuit of their education.
The JariBurs Initiative is said to be the first intervention carried out by a politician that has no political interference as the selection process was done through a seamless process using a tech approach.
Agba Jalingo had insisted that the JariBurs was not meant to settle political supporters and that it was meant for deserving constituents and the selection process must be blind.
In a chat with Agba Jalingo, he noted that “payment is in batches as all beneficiaries will be credited before the week runs out”.
Some of the beneficiaries who have received the money, expressed satisfaction with the process, and noted that God knows why he used Agba Jalingo, to oversee the process as they have no politician to have pleaded their cause, but that without connections, they could benefit from the JariBurs Initiative.
They however thanked Sen Jarigbe Agom, for the financial support and promised to use it judiciously.
