The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that three candidates emerged as joint top scorers of 367 in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This announcement was made on Thursday, July 18, in Abuja, during the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s ongoing 2024 policy meeting.
The top scorers are:
1. Olowu Joseph from Ondo State
2. Alayande David from Oyo State
3. Orukpe Joel from Edo State
“It is common knowledge that the Board has, at various fora, restated its unwillingness to publish the names of its best-performing candidates, as it considers its UTME as only a ranking examination on account of the other parameters that would constitute what would later be considered the minimum admissible score for candidates seeking admission to tertiary institutions,” JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said.
