A secondary school in Benue State has been thrown into celebration after one of its students delivered an impressive performance in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The outstanding student, identified as Naswem Joy Doose, who attends Sora Heights Schools in Gboko, Benue State, achieved a total score of 369 out of 400 marks in the nationwide examination, according to the result released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Sora Heights Schools announced the remarkable feat in a Facebook post, hailing Doose for making both the school and the entire state proud with her academic achievement.
The school’s post read: “2025 JAMB UTME Scores are out and we are proud to announce that we have one of the highest scores nationwide.
In a year where over 75% of JAMB candidates nationwide received a score below 200, and only 0.63% of all candidates nationwide scoring above 300. At SORA HEIGHTS we are pleased to announce that we had multiple candidates from SORA HEIGHTS score above 300.”
Doose’s result included an impressive 98 marks in Chemistry, which contributed to her total aggregate of 369.
Her remarkable performance quickly attracted attention online, with social media users showering her with praise and encouragement.
A Facebook user, Reuben Bello, commented: “This is what we should be celebrating in Benue state. All those bloggers and cheap social media influencers will not project this achievement but they will prefer posting failed politicians and their empty promises.”
