The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, in partnership with Rite Foods Limited, will on Tuesday honour seven outstanding Nigerian undergraduates with ₦5 million each at the maiden Academic Excellence Recognition Award Ceremony in Lagos.
The initiative is aimed at rewarding exceptional academic performance during the 2025 admission exercise.
In a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, the examination body said, “each of the seven award recipients will receive ₦5 million in recognition of their exceptional performance in both the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the respective Post-UTME or institutional screening exercises conducted by their admitting Universities.”
According to JAMB, the seven beneficiaries emerged through a transparent, rigorous and merit-based selection process coordinated by the board.
It said six of the awardees represent the country’s six geopolitical zones, while the seventh award will go to the highest-performing admitted candidate living with a disability.
