The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced Okeke Chinedu Christian from Anambra State as the highest scorer in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with a total of 375 out of a possible 400.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ish-aq Oloyede, disclosed this on Tuesday during the 2025 Policy Meeting held in Abuja.
According to Oloyede, Okeke Chinedu Christian polled the highest scores with 375 out of a maximum score of 400.
According to Oloyede, data from JAMB revealed that Okeke was admitted to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka’s department of medicine four years ago.
Oloyede noted that JAMB wrote UNN for clarification about the student, and the institution revealed that Okeke was admitted and was doing fine.
He also stated that there was no detail on whether Okeke was withdrawn or not.
Oloyede, however, stressed that the board has written the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to ensure that Okeke is not allowed to practice medicine under the circumstances.
Closely trailing him was Ayuba Simon-Peter John from Gombe State, who scored 374 and chose Afe Babalola University (ABUAD) as his first choice, also to study Mechanical Engineering.
In third place is Jimoh Abdulmalik Olayinka from Kwara State, who scored 373. He, too, selected the University of Lagos and applied for Mechanical Engineering.
It is worth noting that all three top candidates are male.
