One of the people who was happy for the girl was Obande Christian Ogede. In a Facebook post, he hailed Tsavkegh, saying she really killed the JAMB exam and gave them the “Gboko standard.”

He said the girl is a student of Calvary Arrows Secondary School in Gboko, Benue State, and urged the Benue State government and well-meaning Nigerians to sponsor her.

A breakdown of Tsavkegh’s showed she scored 95 in mathematics, 95 in physics, 93 in chemistry and 73 in English, bringing her total to 356.

Another high-flying student from Akwa Ibom had 347 in the 2024 UTME.

Chemistry teacher’s 2024 UTME result emerges

Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a chemistry teacher’s 2024 UTME result had got people talking.

Alex Onyia, the CEO of Educare, shared the teacher’s result online, describing his attempt as a risky one.

Alex explained that the chemistry teacher, Ani Ihedioramma Emmanuel, deferred his admission to the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), so he could join other village students in competing for his scholarship. He noted that teacher Emmanuel taught the kids chemistry while he prepared for his JAMB exam.
