A student of the Icon Comprehensive College, Akure, Ondo state , has been praised for his performance in the 2025 UTME The boy's UTME result has been shared on social media after it was released by the t ission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The breakdown of Olumide’s scores in the four UTME subjects is as follows: Mathematics – 98; Physics – 98; Chemistry – 94 and Use of English – 80.

The UTME result was posted by Olúyẹmí Fásípè, who identified the student as Afolabi Olumide Ayodeji. According to the post, the boy is just 15 years old. He said Afolabi scored 370, a feat considered to be great.


Who is the highest scorer in 2025 JAMB?

Legit.ng checked the claim made by Fasipe to see if it is true that no candidate had scored up to 370 in the past 10 years. In a compilation of the exception JAMB candidates published by TheCable and also shared by Legit.ng , no one had up to 370 as of 2013 to 2023.

The highest mark seen on the list was 365, which was scored by Maduafokwa Egoagwuagwu Agnes in 2020. However, in 2024, Olowu David, ⁠⁠Alayande David, and⁠ ⁠⁠Orukpe Joel scored 367 each to emerge as the top three candidates Also, JAMB has yet to name the highest scorer in the 2025 UTME.

He wrote:

"Allow me to introduce Afolabi Olumide Ayodeji, a 15-year-old student at Icons Comprehensive College in Ijapo Estate, Akure, Ondo State.

He has achieved a remarkable feat by breaking a long-standing record in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with an unprecedented score of 370, marking the highest score recorded in over a decade.

The t issions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) records shows that no individual has attained a score of 370 since the inception of the JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) in 2013. Let's celebrate the young legend!"

@Wonuola___xx said: "Icon Olumide, proud to say I taught him while I serviced in Icons comprehensive college Ijapo. I can affirm to him being a very bright and exceptional student. Well deserved champ."

This exam method is the best to have happened to Jamb. If we had miracle centers, this boy would not have been known and appreciated. Genuine students would have been overtaken by cheaters with higher scores.

People keep saying "School na scam" yet they keep sending their wards to sch and even going as far as fasting and praying in JAMB CBT centres to enhance their wards' jamb result.
Hypocrites!

This is the highest score by far so far. Well done Olumide

Congrats Omo ologo

The boy resembled pastor Adeboye like kilode

Thanks to the new measure introduced by JAMB to curb exam malpractices this year, miracle center candidates are no longer in the lead.

Loud. That's the highest score ever in JAMBs 40+ history...
Well, na small thing for us sha... I'm not very surprised. If you check the last 15 years, at least 5-6 of the top 10s are usually from the SW—e.g. for every top 10 lists (of each year), you're likely to get 5-6 of us in that list, that's huge. Greatness is naturally ingrained in the RNAs and DNAs of these people.

In most cases, almost all the tops are from schools in the SW in any case...

We no dey drag with anybody anyway...

Meanwhile, kudos to the others too, anyway. Props and recognitions from here.

In the core matters of the cerebrum, leave am for the Omo.lu.abis.

haybhi1:
Loud.

The point is that if you're from the SW, always believe in yourself. Try to seek it and you will find it, because success is in your DNA. Do not be limited. It is so with your an ces tors and kins men, yours couldn't be different. Think Soyinka, think this boy, think Victory Yinka Banjo, think Dr Oluyinka Olutoye, think Tope Awotona, think Oshoala, think Wizkid, think Tems, think Gbenga Agboola, think Anthony Joshua, David Alaba, think think think... there's an endlist list to think from. Think wide and stamp your own feat. There's too many to pull inspiration from. You don't have to soil your soul or self in dir ty things.

And anyone, regardless of your complexion, look, swag, vibe, mixed, whatever—I mean Portable is doing fine, if he falls into your path, think him—as long as it is for a positive cause, once you're one of us, we're one. You can always be anything good or great, with us—as long as you have that DNA.

In fact, you only need to look within, build on yourself and the spirit will guide you, as long as you have our heritage. I mean Obasanjo went to gaol and still came out to be the president of the largest black nation on Earth. That's in the powers of being one of us. You can't explain it. In the Brazil, Cuba, Caribbean and the likes. The world's topmost vanguard territories, like the UK, US, and Canada, have our footprints for positivity.

Here is a reminder that everything will always fall in line for us. Good luck to us.

Everybody needs a DNA of omo.lu.abi because success is in our blood

lol... and they were praying in tongues at jamb centres the other day... very funny people.

Congratulations on that laudable achievement.

However, a student at Deeper Life High School, Abuja campus scored 371 in the 2025 UTME.

DrAda your theory has been biologically shattered.

Last year jamb said they've stopped announcing the names and profiles of the highest candidate. This was probably because the candidate with the highest wasn't from the south west.

Now we have a candidate from the south west they've gone back to announcing the highest scoring candidate.

This country is pathetic.

Very good ...

Dis one na virgin

We don’t doubt students from the South West. However, if a student from the South East scored as low as 150 in JAMB, we would find it difficult to believe that he or she achieved that score without cheating. Nothing about Ndi developērs seems legit.

They would have said it's Peteru Obi effect 😂😂😂

They is notting in jamb if you attend good school and your parents are rich and they trained you well jamb is a child Play

Lol

Congratulations olumide you are indeed a genius.

Wow

Oh! You should have ed this stage.

Africa needs rebels and mavericks not test takers.

helinues:
Congrats Omo ologo

If he is Igbo now, you will tag it exam malpractice.
Who cares anyway.

Bless you son

Congrats... As e dey hot

Please calm down, this announcement was not made by Jamb.

Besides, there are reports that someone else has an higher score.
