Ebule Oritsemeyiwa Precious, a final-year student at the Federal Government College, Warri, has scored 334 out of 400 in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), amid a national trend of low performance reported by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
JAMB recently disclosed that 75 percent of candidates who sat the 2025 UTME scored below 200, while fewer than one percent attained scores above 300. Ebule’s result places him among the top-performing candidates in the country.
According to his UTME result, Ebule scored 98 in Mathematics, 98 in Physics, 85 in Chemistry, and 53 in English.
Prior to the main exam, he scored 326 in the mock UTME held on April 10, with 96 in Mathematics, 94 in Physics, 71 in Chemistry, and 65 in English.
Ebule, who contributes to the “MathsGE With MeyiBule” column in Fresh Angle International, is the son of Ebule Anthony Metsese, Co-Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the online publication.
He plans to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Petroleum Resources (FUPRE), Effurun, located in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
His performance comes at a time when public attention has turned to the steep drop in UTME scores across the country, with education stakeholders expressing concern about the broader implications for tertiary admission and learning outcomes.
