Jamb is an organization.

Utme is an exam conducted and organized by jamb (the organization)

Just like..

W.A.E.C Is an organization (Exam Council)

S.S.C.E Is the exam conducted by W.A.E.C

They aren't thesame

Gov. Kashim Shettima on Tuesday honoured Galadima Isreal , the Nigeria's 2018 highest score JAMB candidate........

tundeayo2020:
that was it's former name in Nigeria, but now it is officially called WASSCE.
just like people often refer to UTME as Jamb, so also do people call WAEC's WASSCE as SSCE.

HigherEd:

You are funny. There are numerous folks in CU with over 300 in utme(especially engineering) Covenant is now a top destination for some of the brainiest kids from schools like Presco, Ambassadors college, Loyola, Faith Academy.. CU, abuad, babcock are viable options for parents who don't want to travel their kids out.

Gov. Kashim Shettima on Tuesday honoured Galadima Isreal, the Nigeria's 2018 highest score JAMB candidate with full scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University in Ogun state. Israel Galadima from Borno State came first in JAMB with a score of 364.

Impressed by Zakari's performance, Gov. Shettima invited Zakari and his mother, Jummai Galadima, where he honoured him with N5m full scholarship to study Electrical Engineering at Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State under the Borno State Ministry of Higher Education.

At the council chambers of the Borno State Government House, the Governor thanked them for honouring his invitation, reiterating how proud of him he is.

"It is my honour of Meeting the JAMB King Galadima Israel, an indigene of Borno who scored highest in the 2018 tertiary matriculation examination in Nigeria.

"We are mightily proud of this young man, an orphan raised by a single mother by coming first nationwide after scoring 364 in the 2018 JAMB examination. We must identify with our son of Boko Haram ravaged Borno who defiled against all odds and became victorious”. he said.

Shettima urged all to be generous and support one another devoid of religious or tribal diffrences.

The Governor said since he will be completing his tenure in 2019, he prefers to approve payment upfront in order to ensure that Isreal, who made nine distinctions after taking this year’s West African Examination Council's (WAEC) papers, does not have to follow-up on any tuition at the State scholarship board.

"Israel, as his mother has told us, was raised as an orphan. The mother lost her husband who was a Major in the Nigerian Army about 14 years ago and she singlehandedly raised three children.

"Israel is the second of her children. She works in Lagos as a Banker, we don't have to make her travel all the way to Maiduguri again to pursue any payment.

She has done her part by raising a child with excellence, and that child has made Borno State very proud. It's our turn to support him.

"I will suggest that the mother pays all the fees upfront to avoid any tuition increase in future. I am particular about Israel because he was raised as an orphan" Shettima said.

Earlier in her remarks, Mrs. Jummai Galadima, the mother, thanked Governor Kashim Shettima for the support for her son.

You are not smart. He is a Christian. His name is Israel. Muslims hate to hear that name. That's by the way, apart from Kanuri, we have Marghi, Burah, Ngoshe, Matakam with significant number of Christians. Christians in Borno State are upto 20%. Among all the tribes in Nigeria, Kanuri man hardly accept Christianity, but thank God for Kanuri Christian Project that translated Jesus of Nazareth film in Kanuri; we have about 2,000 Kanuri converts in Borno/Yobe states.
Note: We have real Hausa Christian indegenes
in Kano, Katsina, Kebbi and a very few in Sokoto States.

Congrats to the young lad. But something confuse me for the story. The boy get mama wey still dey alive but una dey call am Orphan. Na wa ooo

Man take it easy.Dont be this bigot.
Every one knows there are xtians in Borno.That tells you and even kills the notion some people have that Islam does not allow free practicing of religion.See,do you know there are Arab xtians?So if we have hausa xtians,you should not be surprised.
Borno is composed of not only kanuri n babur but other tribes.The fact is they are northerners and they are all related.
If Prophet Mohammad (saw) can have a xtian wife,that shows you the nobility of Islam.
