The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed that Israel Zakari, an indigene of Biu in Borno State, scored the highest in the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams (UTME).

Punch reports that Zakari scored a total of 364 out of 400, beating out Ogun State’s Adekunle Jesufemi who scored 358 and Alikah Oseghale from Edo State who scored 357.
