JAMB's Findings on the Highest Scorer's Records
During the presentation, Prof. Oloyede disclosed that JAMB uncovered record discrepancies regarding the top scorer, Okeke Chinedu Christian (375), who applied for Mechanical Engineering at UNILAG. According to JAMB's database and confirmation from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), the candidate had been admitted to study Medicine at UNN four years ago and remained enrolled without official withdrawal records. Consequently, JAMB notified the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria regarding the dual-enrollment violation.
