The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, after weeks of anticipations from candidates has finally released the results of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME.

Upon the release of the results, a 15-year-old boy from Abia State was said to have emerged the best candidate by scoring 347 marks considered as the highest by board.

 Similarly, a 16-year-old boy from Abia State came second by scoring 346 marks, while a 17 year old from Osun State trailed behind with 345, considered by the board as the third best result in the 2019 UTME.

However, the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyode, who announced this at a media briefing on  Saturday, said the best candidate may not be admitted in the University of Lagos, which he chose as his first choice because of age.

He gave the names of the three best candidates as Ekene Franklin: Igban Emmanuel Chidiebube and Oluwo Isaac Olamilekan Oloyode did not disclose the intended courses of the best performing students.
