Three candidates have been named as top scorers for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME).

This was disclosed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) on Thursday at the Policy Meeting of the Board in Abuja on Thursday.

The three candidates who scored 367 include Olowu David from Ondo state, Alayande David from Oyo state and ⁠⁠Orukpe Joel from Edo State.

In 2023, Umeh Nkechinyere emerged as the highest scorer with a 360 aggregate score.

JAMB earlier said that it won’t announce the 2024 highest scorer to avoid a repeat of the “Mmesoma matter.

It was recall that Ejikeme Mmesoma, a 19-year-old student, claimed to score 362 as against her actual score of 249 in the 2023 UTME JAMB portal.

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,” Oloyede said
