Gombe Students Launch Initiative for 2027 Elections

On October 1, 2026, the Jagaban/Inuwa Students’ Mandate 2027 launched its Campus Ambassadors initiative across tertiary institutions in Gombe state. The initiative aims to mobilize students and foster discussions on education, governance, and youth development in preparation for the 2027 elections.

Comrade Kasim Abubakar, the convener, stated that the initiative would create a network of student ambassadors to engage peers on government policies and educational achievements under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya. The focus will be on developments in the education sector, including infrastructure, teacher recruitment, and girl-child education.

The initiative also supports Dr Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna, the APC candidate for the 2027 Gombe governorship election. The group highlighted the federal government's education interventions, noting that as of August 2026, over 1.6 million applications had been processed, with more than N322 billion disbursed to students.
