The 2023 UTME top scorer, Nkechinyere Umeh, has again smashed another academic brilliance record in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The 16-year-old student of Deeper Life High School, Mowe, Ogun state, recorded eight A1s and a B2 in the exam.
A breakdown of her result showed that she got A1 in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Further Mathematics, Economics, Civic Education, Computer Studies as well as Dyeing and Bleaching.
She only failed to make A1 in Physics where she got B2.
Umeh became a viral sensation after she got 360 in this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
She scored 99 in Chemistry, 98 in Mathematics, 97 in Physics, and 66 in English Language.
Governor Charles Soludo’s Government had offered a scholarship to the Anambra indigene.
The government also offered a scholarship to study at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University.
The student applied to study Chemical Engineering at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) recently said 1,287,920 — representing 79.81 per cent of the total candidates — obtained credits and above in a minimum of five subjects including English Language and Mathematics in this year’s WASSCE.
