In a Facebook post, Praise criticised JAMB for failing to add just one mark to his score to make it a round number.
Praise expressed sadness over failing to meet his UTME target. He shared an SMS screenshot containing his UTME score.
The lad scored 199: 55 in English, 61 in government, 45 in Literature and 38 in Christian Religious Studies (CRS).
Praise’s Facebook post read:
“I’ve seen mine guys but God this is not what I want God . Jamb Waka ️ why you should just make it 200 nah that 1 point pain me like mad ooo .”
JAMB said only 0.5% of the candidates scored 300 and above in the 2024 UTME.

Boy heartbroken after checking his UTME result
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a boy was disappointed after seeing his UTME performance.
The sad student lamented bitterly over his poor academic performance following the release of the results online.
The heartbroken student, identified as @SantiHari43, stated that he felt so ashamed of himself after seeing the result and would not mind going to any length to get better academically. He reached out to a physics teacher to be under his tutelage so he could pass his UTME next time.
