2024 UTME: Why we won’t announce names of 2024 top scorers – JAMB Registrar

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has disclosed why the examination body wouldn’t announce the names of the highest-scoring candidates in the just concluded 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

He stated this during a press briefing in Bwari, Abuja on Monday, recalling that hitherto, the Board had been unwilling to disclose its yearly top scorers.

Oloyede said this is due to the avoidance of “a repeat of the Mmesoma saga,” while the board also considers the UTME as “only a ranking examination,” among other reasons.

Mmesoma Ejikeme, a UTME candidate from Anambra State, was embroiled with JAMB in 2023 when she claimed to have scored 362 out of a total of 400.

Upon investigations, the examination body barred her from taking the UTME for three years and also withheld her results.

For this year’s results, over 1.94 million candidates registered and sat the examination in 118 towns and over 700 centres across the country, while 77 per cent scored less than 200.

The JAMB Registrar stated, “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.

“Similarly, because of the different variables adopted by respective institutions, it might be downright impossible to arrive at a single or all-encompassing set of parameters for generating a list of candidates with the highest admissible score, as gaining admission remains the ultimate goal. Hence, it might be unrealistic or presumptive to say a particular candidate is the highest scorer given the fact that such a candidate may, in the final analysis, not even be admitted.

“However, owing to public demand and to avoid a repeat of the Mmesoma saga as well as provide a guide for those who may want to award prizes to this set of high-performing candidates, the Board appeals to all concerned to always verify claims by candidates before offering such awards.”

I thought JAMB said they don't announce highest result again, so what happened this time?

Is it because a Yoruba girl got the highest score this time?

Please if I am wrong I am open for correction

Don't mind those 'national clowns',their statements are only good for comic relief....they just shifted the goal post once again,when they top the list,the rules change. Welcome to Nigeria!

I wonder why the noise about LASU or UniLag being the most sort after when the population of Lagos is 3 or 4 larger times larger than an average state in Nigeria. The only other state to compete with Lagos, could have been Kano state but because the north has not fully embraced education,Lagos certainly is in a world of his own in terms of population.

I still can't understand why after the subsidy removal and all the promises of 'el dorado' and assurances that so much fund will be made available for governance,infrastructural development,massive industrialization etc,that all that is required of Nigerians is to make the sacrifice,bear the pain and accept subsidy removal but guess what? We have since witnessed an unprecedented and massive borrowing since then,something is not just adding up.
We need honest leaders!

The sorry state of insecurity in Nigeria should be a cause of concern to our leaders but guess what?2027 elections is all that matters to them,they move with large security entourage,their children are in other safer and sane nations,schooling or working while they Nigerian people are daily paying with their blood.
It's a pity that Nigeria is now a huge tragedy and a killing field.
Anytime I listen to foriegn news media and once Nigeria is mentioned,is either 30 killed,120 kidnapped,attack on one community,a church burnt down,the terrible state of IDP camps etc it's always a gory tale.This is a big shame and our shameless politicians care less. We are now a huge circus and the rest of the world mock Nigeria and sees us as an example of a failed state.

May his soul rest in peace!

Peter Obi is like an avatar,he appears once in a life time....he is the 'man of the people'. He has oil on his head!

When Buhari is favouring you guyz
Non of you talks

Exactly,they have no moral justification to complain,though Buhari was favouring they north and northerners stood by him however Tinubu's tribalism and nepotism is a case study,he is favouring just only Yoruba's,not even other southerners yet he wants other Nigerians to support and vote for him. 2027 is going to be a huge shock for him.

MadPolitician:
If you can post one single instance where I supported Tinubus candidacy, I am going to wire 100k IMMEDIATELY to any bank account you provide here..
I swear! I am serious..
One instance where I supported Tinubu to become president over Jonathan.
Understand that I can't remember all I have posted here, but I am sure I have always worried about Tinubu as a president. If you say Osibanjo, I may say yes. But Tinubu? Provide the evidence..
I'm waiting..

Keep your money,there are people around you whom may need it.
However my apology,I think I'm mixing up your moniker with one 'smartPolitician'l
I am also not a fan of Kwankwaso but if supporting a ticket his in,it's what is required to get rid of the present calamitous leader in Aso Rock,so be it.
A new Nigeria is possible with PO!

MadPolitician:
I'm not voting for any ticket with a rabid tribalist like Kwankwaso on it.
You guys are desperately trying to rebrand this ethnocentric interloper, whose stock in trade is to move from one Nigerian city to the other antagonising non northerners.
Kwankwaso should go and contest for the presidency of Arewaland

Exactly what Buhari represented,kwankwaso is better because his emphasis is on northerners but Buhari is a Fulani supremacist and thinks Fulani alone yet,Tinubu and his supporters like you backed him just to take power away from GEJ. So you are not in any position to condemn Kwankwaso and those who will vote in a ticket he is in.
A new Nigeria is possible!

This all projection and reluctance to bear the burden of having to come to grips with the fact that you will be watching the world cup from Makoko without your squad at tournament.I mean it must really sting that a team you tried by all means to sabotage out of the competition outsmarted you and outperformed you,hence the rage and bitter hypothetical scenarios.And your supposed superior players couldn't make it past Zimbabwe and Lesotho? See how the jokes just keep writing themselves.

We are slaves because we are telling you to go back home and fix your failed countries? Because we realised that this model of pan Africa where there is one way influx of immigrants pouring into one country doesn't work and are cutting ties then we are bad people? Lol you guys are gonna have to reach to the bottom of the barrel and find something new because the name-calling doesn't work anymore,has never worked actually.And all of these coming from the biggest tribal and religious bigots in Africa? Dude you are the last people to point a figure.

Mandela,Tutu and them never went to anybody's country and sold drugs,ran Internet scams,faked university qualifications and ran human-trafficking rings.Stop using our struggle heroes for your manipulative tactics, it's not gonna work.

In economics,demand attracts supply,you should be worried of the junkie culture of your youths,depending totally on drugs as a get away from realities.Your youths are not geared towards working smartly,so they look forward to drugs. Nobody forces drugs on them,they place order and barons supply it,its pathetic.It calls for cultural reorientation. Lazy youths whom have chosen to be highly irresponsible while blaming others of have taken the jobs meant for them.
When the real call for nationalism resonates among other Africans,south Africans in other nations will be at the receiving end,they will be forced to leave and their companies nationalized.If you are so full of your country why carry your neo imperialistic companies to other black nations,MTN,SHOPRITE,DSTV, standard bank,Sabmiller,protea hotels etc they could have stayed back and operate only in your village market and see them fold up like a pack of card.
Yet Nigeria have some establishments in south Africa e.g Access Bank (which acquired Grobank), Dangote Cement, Air Peace, GZ Industries, and fintech firms like Flutterwave and Paystack. Our presence also includes media (ThisDay) and growing numbers of small-to-medium enterprises in the restaurant and other businesses.We can take it elsewhere to other African countries,oh less I forget, even our churches! so that you can fall back to your sangoma's for spiritual uplifting.
You pick a case of few black Africans whom allegedly are involved in drug businesses and justify your gruesome annual massacre of blacks in your slave island called a nation.

JaceBlaze:
Benny McCarthy,Steven Pienaar,Percy Tau,Thabo Sefolosha and many more have competed against the best so your statement is a fallacy.And FIFA world cup is around the corner and guess who's not gonna be competing,yup Mr Green & White is not there lol so who truly lacks the tenacity here?

Don't you think it's high time you actually developed your sporting facilities so you won't have to always benchmark your excellence based upon achieving your dreams outside Nigeria? Who is he doing a favour again? With outstanding people SA has produced you think we need this guy to elevate us? You can't be serious.

We ve been to world cup before you ever dreamt of it,moreover your going to world cup is to complete the numbers,'banana banana' is only going to the world cup to serve as comic relief to serious contenders.
They players you mentioned above are mere average players,if they were Nigerians,they wont make the cut for super eagles as of the time they were South African best.
You lots suffer from low self esteem,you stay in your country and worship whites only to exhibit your inherent xenophobic disease ones you see blacks.
A novelist once described your lots as 'slaves that loves their chain'!
Other black Africans spent billions trying to save you lots from the apartheid era and only for 'slaves that loves their chain' to turn against the same people who fought day and night to see to their freedom.
Heroes like Nelson Mandela,Bishop Desmond Tutu,Oliver Thambo,Walter Sisulu,Lucky Dube,great members of Palancas Negras etc will be turning in their grave in dissappoint with you ungrateful south African black lots.

Although Carter Efe won,I am still not pleased with just victory,I wanted him to pummel this national clowns face to stupor....imagine a street dirty tout claiming celebrity,only in Nigeria!

Can you also give us the top 10 gas producing states from this your personal website!

Rebelutionary:
Almost impossible ke? Local champions?

A simple Google search will shame you abeg!

SA have their issues but abeg you can communicate fact without the needless tendency to put down SA in "sports"!

I don't mean white South Africans but black South Africans.

It is almost impossible for a south Africa guy to make it in sports outside the shores of south Africa,they hardly have the tenacity to compete against the best,aside from their locality where they turn local champions.He is only doing south Africa a favour to associate with them because he was born there.
This guy is a Nigerian to the core and hence,his achievements. Like Nigeria and other core black nations,they can hold their side wherever they find themselves.

Ofunaofu:
Seunmsg, take a rest and have some shame, at least for once and stop lifting lies and falsehood from a Notorious X account and your WhatsApp groups , and redirect this energy toward telling Nigerians what Tinubu has done to deserve a second term.

Tell Nigerians why Tinubu should be seeking reelection after presiding over unprecedented hardship, worsening insecurity, hunger, starvation, and economic collapse.

Explain why he should campaign for another term despite failing, both woefully and spectacularly, to fulfill his own promises, especially his statement that if he failed to provide constant electricity, Nigerians should not vote for him

See the way he will run away from a thread he opened,these failed Tinubu promises scares them most,you cannot defend the indefensible... 'especially his statement that if he failed to provide constant electricity, Nigerians should not vote for him'!

yarimo:
Failures 😆😆 ? How about obi that increase poverty rate as governor of small anambra state that is not up to a LGA in Niger state

Amoda the last time I checked Anambra is bigger than Lagos and if Anambra is not as big as a LG in Niger state then Lagos is not as big as some communities in Niger state,but yet you celebrated Tinubu for converting Lagos to his personal estate,the only employment he created are area boys,omonile,motor park touts,Lastma etc and of course building 'Lagos from the Atlantic ocean'!...I no fit laff!

Its obvious that the police guy is hiding something because in the video the young man was crying and begging, asking to be giving an opportunity to lead them to the people involved but rather they gave him bullet and snuffed life out of him.
Something is not adding up and this must not slide away,human right groups,activists and family members must make sure that Ogidi gets justice.

If Osinbajo is on the ticket,I can assure you that APC will be sure of victory unlike the liability they are presenting now.

Goldforever:
What the Supreme Court actually decided:
The Supreme Court did NOT give a final judgment confirming the name change from Nkerehi to Umuchukwu.

The case before the Supreme Court was only an interlocutory appeal (a preliminary issue), not the main case.
Specifically, the appellants were trying to stop (prohibit) the government from conducting a referendum on the name change.
👉 The Supreme Court outcome:
The appeal was dismissed (because it was withdrawn by the appellants).

What that decision legally means
The ruling only confirmed that the government can conduct a referendum on whether to change the community’s name.
It did NOT settle the main dispute about whether the name should legally be Nkerehi or Umuchukwu.

Status of the main case
The substantive issue (actual name change) is still pending at the Anambra State High Court (Aguata).

That means:
The legality of the gazette changing the name is still being challenged.
No final Supreme Court pronouncement has been made on that core issue.
Why there is confusion
Some reports claimed the Supreme Court “affirmed the name change.”
That interpretation comes from the fact that:
Lower court decisions favoring the process were not overturned.
Legally:
No final determination on the name itself has been made by the Supreme Court.

🧾 Simple summary
❌ Supreme Court did NOT finally decide “Umuchukwu vs Nkerehi.

✅ Supreme Court only dismissed an appeal about stopping a referendum.
⚖️ The real case about the validity of the name change is still in court (High Court Aguata).

The UPU PG was wrong there was not such judgement from supreme court. The Nkerehi side withdrawal of the appeal is the only reason the case was struck out and a fine awarded. Explain - Supreme Court stage (Recent development)
The case reached the Supreme Court of Nigeria — BUT:
Only on a preliminary issue (interlocutory appeal)
👉 What happened:
The appellants (Nkerehi side) withdrew the appeal
The Supreme Court dismissed the case
Costs were awarded against the appellants

What the Supreme Court decision really means, It did NOT decide:
Whether the town is legally Umuchukwu or Nkerehi, It ONLY means:
The earlier rulings allowing processes like referendum were not stopped
🔴 Current legal status (VERY IMPORTANT)
The main case is STILL pending at:
Anambra State High Court, Aguata
👉 That case will decide:
Whether the gazette is valid

Whether the community is legally:
✅ Umuchukwu or Nkerehi
⚠️ Key takeaway (no confusion)
❌ Supreme Court has NOT given final judgment on the name
✅ The dispute is STILL legally unresolved
⚖️ Final authority now lies with the High Court decision (unless appealed again later) People must stop this act of misinterpreting laws without understanding what the law means. This case has a long way to go unless the two groups comes together to bury their sword for peace to reign on both sides. Thank you

So who is afraid of a referendum on the change of name?why are they appellants against a referendum?They people to be captured in the referendum are the people of the community,so let their voice be heard?They people have said categorically,that they prefer 'Umuchukwu' as the name of the community and a few recalcitrant ones wants to suppress the voice of the generality of the people. So in this case, who is the oppressor?

Galactics:
Not by the Nigerian government. It is a case of one man waking up one morning and changing the name of his ancestral town from Nkerehi to Umuchukwu, because he has made money. He even went ahead to install his younger brother as the Igwe of the community. That man is no other person than Dr Godwin Maduka.

Oga go rest with your screwed narratives,you would prefer darkness to light,they whole community agreed on the change of name except some few idol worshippers who thinks that the old name symbolizes subservience to the deity....all over the world nations change names especially when such no longer befits its present status. Can we now allow this issue to rest,since supreme court has given its verdict.

Lifestone:
Moving the proposed State capital from Asaba to Orlu is a very sticky part of the whole arrangement. Most will definitely not agree. They should retain the Capital in Asaba, and move Delta State Capital to Warri

That's a good observation.

Is it a crime that we the igbo speaking part of Delta wants to join the rest of our brothers in the south east....all over the world there is renewed sense of ethnic identity and we have spoken!
If we have referendum,I can assure you that over 90% of my Anioma people wants to join the rest of the greater Igbo nation. We don't hate other tribes in Delta,we only want to join our brothers while we keep our relationship with other beautiful tribes of delta.

Truer words have never been said....atleast Dino has more street credibility!

The supreme court has lost its value,in those days,everyone look up to the supreme court but those were good old days before the advent of APC....it is such a pity.

Mariangeles:
Hope Uzodimma might become the first Igbo president before Peter Obi.

The man hardly talks, he just does.

Because he has absolutely nothing to talk about or should he talk of how supreme court made him a governor.
Anyway Nigeria is a big circus and statements by people like you,is only good for comic relief.

It was such a tragic event,he was the governor Lagos never had.
Evil men whom never want good for the people of Lagos,those whom want to keep the populace in perpetual servitude,may have been responsible for his death.
But they can only kill the flesh and not the soul,which I believe has created a divine rapport with heavenly bodies. Your killers will never no peace even if they are living in reckless afflience and abundance,there death will be more terrifying and may it come when they are enjoying life most.
Amen!

Light will always conquer darkness! A new Nigeria is possible.

Ofunaofu:
yarimo are you here

xxxx

Why are you mentioning that 'data boy'' and 'rice crew' ,his opinion is very inconsequential.
This is one governor that shouldn't spend a penny in campaigning,he will easily get over 95% of the votes before 10 AM on the elections day, as long as God keeps him alive.

kaludestiny10:
A party with over 30 state governors, over 600 local government chairpersons, with all the security agencies, government officials, over 100 senators, over 200 house of representative members, with the presidency, with the judiciary and lastly with INEC, is a afraid of the opposition political parties. What an irony.
With a free and fare election in Nigeria, APC will lose next year's general elections.

Devoid of rigging and shenanigans,the elections would be fought and won by ADC before 12pm on election day .You can take it to the bank.

Nairaland is becoming a huge joke,these Shia propagandist are beginning to mess the forum.
Please if I may ask,when did news from Facebook as source start making front pages?
Nairaland is a huge joke!
