2024 UTME: kwara Gov celebrates 31 students who scored above 300

AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the kwara State Governor, has celebrated the 31 students of the state who performed magnificently well in the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
About 31 of the students from the state reportedly scored over 300 in the last UTME
In a statement on Saturday by Rafiu Ajakaye, the chief press secretary to the governor, stated that the governor was glad to receive reports of students from across public and private schools in the state posting impressive results in the recently held UTME.
“Particularly heartwarming is the result of Master Samuel Olanrewaju Oluwasemilore of Government Secondary School, Omu Aran, who scored 358 in the exam.
“Governor AbdulRazaq also congratulates the Great 30 (students) from Kwara-based Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Model College, who got between 355 and 300 marks in the exam — and similar high-performers from other schools in the state.
“We are proud of achievements like this; they serve as shining examples for younger ones to work harder, be at their best in their studies, and make their parents and community proud,” the Governor says.
“We are also excited that these are not isolated successes in our education sector, coming only a few weeks after Kwara State represented Nigeria on the global stage at the World School Debate in Singapore, among other feats.”
He stated that statewide coverage for the tech-based learning programme has been approved to improve learning outcomes in the state.
“I assure the good people of this state that we will continue to beat our own record in this critical sector. Our KwaraLEARN programme is yielding impressive results already, and the state executive council has recently approved statewide coverage for the tech-based learning programme.
The statement said, “The next few years will yield awesome learning outcomes, while we are soon launching a first-of-its-kind Kwara State Education Trust Fund to inject more resources and strengthen accountability in the sector”.
Following the release of the just concluded UTME result, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Model College, an Ilorin-based Catholic secondary school, announced that 30 of its students scored between 300 and 355, out of a total of over 8,000 students who achieved this feat nationwide.
Also, a student of Government Secondary School, Omu Aran area of the kwara state, Olukayode Olusola, scored 362 marks in the examination.
