Obiora-Nwokedi Nmesoma, a candidate of the just concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has broken record as the student with the highest score in her school.

Nmesoma, a student of Queens Convent Awka, Anambra state, owned by the Anglican church scored 343 in the resit exercise scheduled by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

She had scored 165 in the botched controversial version, which the exam body had blamed on technical glitches in the system. Many students were reportedly traumatized by the ugly development, including the girl that allegedly took her life.

Speaking exclusively to our correspondent, Principal of the school, Dr Martha Ibezim attributed Nmesoma’s feat to the school’s commitment to academic excellence and holistic student’s development.

She also linked the outstanding performance to the school’s dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and rigorous preparatory programs. According to Ibezim, the victory had not only secured the student a bright future, but had brought pride to the school, reinforcing its reputation as a leading institution for academic and personal growth.

She said: “Initially scoring a disheartening 165 in the exam due to reported glitches in the JAMB system, Nmesoma refused to let this define her. “When given the opportunity to resit the exam, she soared to an outstanding score of 343, proving her academic prowess and showcasing the exceptional preparation provided by her school.

“Nmesoma’s journey began like that of many ambitious students across Nigeria, with dreams of excelling in the highly competitive UTME to secure a place in a top university.

“A star pupil known for her consistent academic excellence, Nmesoma was shocked when her initial JAMB score of 165 did not reflect her capabilities.

“The low mark, attributed to technical glitches in the JAMB system, could have discouraged even the most determined student. But Nmesoma, fortified by the unwavering support of her teachers and the robust academic foundation at Queens Convent Awka, remained undeterred.”

Many congratulations sis. Some people are born genius while others acquire genius along the way in life.

This is the ugly development Tunji Alausa claimed was exam malpractice counter measures while destroying the future prospect of exceptional students.

One can imagine how many students have had their bright prospect botched by institutional failure Meanwhile he is yet to resign for that stupid statement as with an average Nigerian public office holder.
