JAMB: Soludo gives scholarship to Anambra student with highest UTME score
Governor Charles Soludo’s government has offered a scholarship to Nkechinyere Umeh, an Anambra indigene with the highest score in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Education commissioner Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Awka, said Ms Umeh scored 360 out of 400.
Ms Chuma-Udeh said the student was offered a scholarship by Mr Soludo’s government to study at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
“Nkechinyere Umeh has been declared the best by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), having scored a cumulative mark of 360 in the 2023 UTME. This is a testament that efforts by Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration to reposition the education sector is yielding the desired dividend,” said the statement.
The Anambra government added, “This scholarship will encourage and motivate her to do more in future and also serve as an example to other students of the state.”
The commissioner stated that Mr Soludo’s administration would continue to pay serious attention to education in the state.
