"I'm thrilled to report that from the results collated so far, none of the students scored below 200 in their JAMB. Many achieved scores over 250, with a few surpassing 300. It's particularly heartening to see my younger cousin, who previously scored 187 in last year's JAMB, elevate to a score of 243 this time around."
