ONDO COMMENDS AKURE STUDENT AFOLABI OLUMIDE AYODEJI FOR BREAKING JAMB’S 12-YR-OLD RECORD
…As Aiyedatiwa’s Aide, Dr. Seun Osamaye says feat an encouragement on Int’l Day of The Boy-Child
Ondo State Government has commended the unusual feat achieved by a student in the state by breaking the 12-year-old JAMB record by scoring 370 in the 2025 UTME.
In a statement, the Special Adviser to Governor Aiyedatiwa on Women Affairs, Dr. Seun Osamaye said the new record is not only a pride to Ondo State Government but also Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Dr. Osamaye expressed happiness that while the state is promoting positive orientation for the boys with the special programme tagged “Sensitize The Boy-Child Initiative”, Afolabi Olumide Ayodeji has done the state proud with the record.
Osamaye commended the parents, teachers and Governor Aiyedatiwa for providing conducive and peaceful environment in Ondo State.
15-year-old Afolabi Olumide Ayodeji of Icons Comprehensive College, Ijapo Estate, Akure made national headlines by emerging the highest scorer in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), administered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
With an astonishing total score of 370, Ayodeji shattered a decade-long record, becoming the first student to achieve such a feat since the computer-based test (CBT) format was introduced in 2013.
According to data obtained from JAMB and corroborated by investigative reviews from reputable platforms such as Economic Confidential and Leadership, no candidate has crossed the 370 mark since JAMB transitioned to CBT.
Ayodeji’s performance not only positions him as the academic face of 2025 and Ondo State but also rewrites the record books, marking the highest known UTME score in the digital testing era.
Afolabi Olumide Ayodeji’s exceptional score, revealed officially by JAMB, has stunned educators, stakeholders, and policy makers, renewing conversations around academic excellence in Nigeria’s basic and secondary education systems.
His achievement is not merely a numerical triumph; it represents a beacon of hope amid concerns about falling standards and widespread examination malpractice that have plagued the UTME in recent years.
