Southeastposts can authoritatively confirm that an Anambrarian, Okeke Chinedu has emerged the top scorer of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination with 375 score.
Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Tuesday, noted that the board realised some discrepancies regarding Okeke, who applied for mechanical engineering at the University of Lagos.
According to Oloyede, data from JAMB revealed that Okeke was admitted to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka’s department of medicine four years ago.
Oloyede noted that JAMB wrote UNN for clarification about the student, and the institution revealed that Okeke was admitted and was doing fine.
The JAMB Registrar also revealed that there was no detail on whether Okeke was withdrawn or not, stressing that the board has written the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to ensure that Okeke is not allowed to practice medicine under the circumstances.
According to JAMB, Ayuba Simon-Peter came second with 374; Jimoh Abdulmalik with 373; Roberts Damiete with 373; Ononogbo Chigozirim, 373; Olawepo Gertrude with 373; Afinotan Leslie, 373; Azoyenime Samuel, 373, and Oyebode Oluwapelumi with 373.
