Owoeye Daniella Tops 2026 UTME With 372 Marks As JAMB Announces Highest Scorers by Pakute(op): 8:34pm On May 11
A candidate, Owoeye Daniella Jesudunsin, has emerged as the overall top scorer in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), scoring 372 marks.

The result was contained in a list of top-performing candidates announced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) during the 2026 Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions held in Abuja on Monday.


Owoeye, who sat for the examination in Ogun State but hails from Ekiti State, chose the University of Lagos (University of Lagos) to study Medicine and Surgery (MBBS).

The ICIR reports that 2,243,816 candidates registered for the 2026 UTME, representing a 10.5 per cent increase when compared with those who registered to write the examination in 2025.

Lagos State recorded the highest number of registrations for the 2026 edition with 381,814 candidates, followed by Ogun (137,156), Oyo (122,662), Kaduna (103,498), and the Federal Capital Territory (102,961).

Outside Nigeria, candidates also registered from Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Burkina Faso, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Gambia, and South Africa, though in small numbers.

The 2026 UTME was conducted across about 966 Computer-Based Test centres nationwide, with examinations split into four daily sessions to ease congestion and improve monitoring.

The board described the exercise as one of the most coordinated large-scale examinations in the country, involving extensive logistics, personnel deployment, and digital verification systems.

According to the released data, top candidates scored between 367 and 372, with their performance spread across various institutions of choice and states of origin.

The candidate with the highest score, Jesudunni, was followed by Enwere Kingsley Ikenna, who scored 370 and chose NILE University for Computer Science, and Bamisile Ayomide Emmanuel with 369, who opted for the Federal University of Technology, Akure (Federal University of Technology Akure) to study Software Engineering.

SW retains the prime spot as the centre of academic excellence.

70% of the top 10 scorers chose universities domiciled in the SW states of Lagos, Ọsun, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun states.

50% of the top scorers are Yoruba. Ogun(2), Ọṣun(2), Ọyọ states(1).

JAMB has sent criminal 'miracle centres' out of business.

Congratulations to the 10 top scorers

Education tourism in SW is real and consistent.

If you want the best quality education, come to Yorubaland.

If by "chest beaters" you mean Igbos (especially those in Anambra state) then the JAMB girl is not different than them, especially if she's a Yoruba from Ogun state or environs. They're not really different people. They're genetically the same people. You'll also find them in Ouidah in Benin republic.

Note:
It was a white man named Cavalli Esfosa, a geneticist, that made the claim in his book: the history and geography of human genes. He sampled the genes of people around the world in the book and showed where certain people in the survey originated.

When I read what he said, I was like Habaaah this can't be true!

Then, I said to myself if this is true, then they'll be Igbo and Yoruba words that sounds same. And I decided to research it.

Lo and behold, I found many Yoruba and Igbo words that not only sound the same but also means the same thing! Examples below.

ENGLISH IGBO YORUBA
Cockerel Okuko Akuko
Rat Oke Okere
Wind Ufufe Afefe
Father Papa Baba
Stone Okute Okuta

Mr. Cavalli was right!!

I discovered those in Ouidah in Benin republic through further research.

They're the inventor of the concept of God and a saviour or redeemer.

They're the most intelligent people at least in the Niger-area and probably in the world. But they're also the dumbest (something I find very puzzling). Just tell them about God, spirits, jazz and they'll lose their common sense. We don't know this because we've been deceived with education such that we have no knowledge about ourselves. If those three locations could wake up, the black race will rule the world forever.

Amazing. Private universities are showing greatly on this list. That's very interesting for a class of institutions that receive about 10% of all national applications, yet they are represented about 40% on the top 10 candidate list.

Very soon these brilliant chaps will be extracted from this country.

I remember Abel Imoleayo of FGCL, head boy of either 2008 or 2009 set.

That guy was so brilliant he had 9As in WAEC, aced JAMB, won Olympiad back then, represented Nigeria.

Last I checked, man’s been in another country ever since. He got a scholarship and left this country for good.

Congratulations to them. Nigeria's education is not serving its purpose. We need to overhaul it.

I don't care if it's Yoruba that dominate the list or Igbo. My observation really is they are all Southerner, no single northerner!

What value does the north really add to Nigeria?

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!

Jamb was explicitly, they said they do not release reault based on state or region. They have always released the candidates with the highest score which is why many of your like lied Obi took Anambra to number one in education.

How a foolish fool who built no school, refused ro pay teachers n lecturers over a year , then increased tuition by over 300% without any grant or loan to student took Anambra to number 1 remain a mystery if it is not all lies n propaganda

Congrats to Jesudunsin for getting the best result in the just concluded UTME.

Jesus and sin in one word Jesudunsin.

Jesus don sin (in pidgin)

If Jesus can sin, then why won't I sin till they kingdom come? grin




Just joking o, Jesudunsin means it's easy or sweet to serve Jesus.

But is it really true?
