JAMB: Who is highest scorer in 2024 UTME
In a tweet on Thursday, May 2, Omokri said the candidates only praised their Lord and moved on with their lives of daily Jihad of self-conquest. His tweet reads in part:
“Saleh Fatima Alkali did not forge her result, boast about it, or even publish it. She also did not compare herself to others or gloat. She just scored perhaps the highest mark in the JAMB UTME Examination and remained humble and modest. It was others who exposed her and praised her.
“Apart from Fatima, at least 12 other Northerners also scored above 300. However, they did not make noise after making the news. They simply praised God for His benevolence and went about their daily Jihad of self-conquest and self-development.
“We can all learn something about Northern Arewa culture from Fatima.”

JAMB explains why best candidates were not announced
Legit earlier reported that JAMB has announced that the names of his 2024 UTME top scorers will not be disclosed as it announced results for the exercise.
According to Pro. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB registrar, the reason for the development was to avoid a similar case of the Mmesoma saga after the 2023 UTME.
However, Oloyede advised that organisations that sought to award the best candidates should verify before offering such awards.
