30 students from the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Model College, an Ilorin-based Catholic secondary school, have scored above 300 in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This is according to the results posted by Reverend Father Jude Okeh on X.
In the post shared by Rev Okeh, thirty students from the school scored between 300 and 355, out of a total of over 8,000 students who achieved this feat nationwide.
Reverend Father Jude Okeh, who tweets as @friajudeo said, “In the midst of JAMB saga, we have this from one of the Catholic schools. There is a lot more.”
According to the post, two students, Fasesin Ayomiposi and Kunle-Olawepo Ayomikun, emerged as the highest scorers with 355 points. Other top performers include Adelodun Oluwadarasimi and Ayejuto Daniel with 341 points, and Idris Jamaaldeen with 333 points.

Netizens described this achievement as notable, especially considering the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s recent announcement that 1,402,490 candidates out of 1,842,464 failed to score 200 out of 400 marks.
JAMB has also clarified that the UTME is primarily a ranking examination and has urged caution against fake result slips, as the official results are not printed on paper.
