Reactions to list of JAMB top candidates for 2024

@Abdullahi_AAA said:

"I think we should have stated of residence or state of secondary school so that appropriate credit will be given to the state they had the education. And their state of origin will be taking glory for work not done."

@DRUGNUGGETS said:

"Congratulations to them. Education must be heavily invested in if Nigeria must talk in the comity of nations globally. No country can get better more than the state of it schools. Schools, when properly funded, provide an enabling environment that stimulates creativity."

@SanniAzeez19 said:

"I would prefer to know the state they say for the exam rather than their state of origin."

@BrotherDavid19 said:

"Wow. Edo and Akwa Ibom dominate the list of top UTME performers."
