A 15-year-old boy, Lotanna Azuokeke, has scored 337 marks in the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Azuokeke, a student of Bishop Otubelu Juniorate, Trans Ekulu, Enugu, in the 2023 UTME, scored 99 marks in Mathematics, 88 in chemistry, 86 in physics, and 64 in English Language.

This was disclosed via a statement issued on Thursday, May 4, by Dr Chiwuike Uba, the Media Adviser to the Bishop of the Diocese of Nike (Anglican Communion), the Founder of the school.

“Report shows that Azuokeke applied to study Electrical/Electronic Engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN),” he stated.

Uba said the school was established on October 6, 2008, with the aim of contributing to improved education standards.

He revealed that the school started with 24 students, but now has 411 students.

“The school recorded 100 per cent success in the last Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE); three students came out with 11As each.

“We are proud of the success we have attained so far. Our JAMB results are simply wonderful, our WASSCE and NECO results are not bad also,” he added.
