Nigerians on social media were in awe on Friday as Deeper Life High School announced that no fewer than 174 students across its campuses nationwide scored 300 and above in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The school in a post via its official handle on Facebook
@Deeper Life High School posted the 174 students.
“Despite JAMB’s announcement that only around 0.5% of
candidates nationwide scored 300 and above in the 2024 UTME, an astounding one
hundred and seventy-four (174) students of DLHS exceeded expectations with
flying colours by scoring 300 and above,” the school said in the post.
According to the information obtained from the school’s
Facebook page, the highest scorer this year Ayeyemi Godsgift Ibukunoluwa scored
a total of 362 points out of the total 400 obtainable points.
Recall that the school produced the highest scorer for the
2023 UTME. Umeh Kamsiyochukwu emerged as the highest scorer for 2023 UTME with
a total of 360 points.
According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
1,402,490 candidates out of 1,842,464 failed to score 200 out of 400 marks.
The examination body, through its registrar, Prof. Ishaq
Oloyede, had stated that, among other reasons, the board considers the UTME as
“only a ranking examination,” hence, its decision not to disclose the names of
the highest-scoring candidates in the just-concluded UTME.
Also, the board urged Nigerians to be wary of any candidate
parading printed result slips as currently, the result is not in any paper
format.
Meanwhile, Nigerians on Facebook have hailed the
top-performing students.
A Facebook user who posted via Thomas Ewa said,
“Congratulations all, it takes Godliness, discipline and commitment to achieve
such great results.”
Another Facebook user, Olumu Peace while congratulating the
school’s top scorer said, “Congratulations Ayeyemi🎉🎉🎉
Delta Campus is proud of you.”
Ajayi Oluwafemi James who posted in the comment section of
the post made by the school said, “This is quite incredible, congratulations to
DLHS family. Leadership with Distinction!.”
