Top-performing UTME candidates gets reward from young man
An X user identified simply as Àgbàakin of Europe @powerfulbadeeu, in a post shared on his page on Wednesday, May 1, vowed to return the JAMB registration fee of some UTME candidates who scored “275” & above.
The X user also disclosed that he would mentor the UTME candidates until they are done with their higher learning, only if they hail from “Igboora.”
He tweeted:
"If you write JAMB this year & you’re from “Igboora” with your JAMB score as high as “275” & above; kindly reach out to me, I’ll be returning your JAMB registration money & have you under my mentorship till you’re done with University. Kindly #RT."

@olorunwababs tweeted:
"Why 275 sir? What of those who scored 199?"
@powerfulbadeeu replied:
"There will be other ways to help them too, asiko awon 275 lawa yi. I raised the bar that high because of some other things attached that may not be in the post yet."
@UnclebeeOla tweeted:
"Nice one, Egbon."
@Sirlanko1 tweeted:
"I know of a boy in Ede. He scored 286,hes been crying since yesterday because he want to study Medicine. His parent told me that the result is because he didn't do math that mathematics is his forte. If you can consider him to be under your mentorship, I'll appreciate."
@hayhaywhy tweeted:
"But the terms and conditions though.
"I know you're eager to help students who excelled in JAMB, and that's truly commendable! However, I want to caution you about the terms and conditions you're setting. The score and restricting the pry and sec to Adegoke and IHS might not work."
