For many students across Nigeria, the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination remains one of the biggest academic hurdles on the road to higher education but for Kingsley Enwere, the 2026 exercise became a defining moment that has now placed him among the country’s brightest young scholars.
The Nigerian Tulip International Colleges recently honoured the student after he recorded an impressive 370 score in the 2026 UTME, one of the highest results released by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board this year.
Enwere, who is from Imo State, emerged among the leading candidates nationwide following JAMB’s announcement of top-performing students on May 11. According to the released rankings, Owoeye Jesudunsin finished as the overall highest scorer in the country with 372 points, while Bamisile Emmanuel from Ondo State secured 369 points to place among the top candidates.
The high-performing students are already charting ambitious academic paths. Enwere reportedly applied to study Computer Science at Nile University of Nigeria, while Emmanuel chose Software Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Akure.
To mark the achievement, NTIC organised a recognition ceremony attended by members of the school community, stakeholders, teachers, and Enwere’s family members. The institution described the performance as another reflection of the academic culture it has sustained over the years.
In a statement issued by the school’s Media Consultant, Olumide Bajulaye, NTIC said the result aligns with its long-established reputation for academic excellence and consistent student success.
Speaking during the event, the Managing Director of NTIC, Fevzullah Bilgin, said the institution would continue to encourage students to pursue excellence without limits.
According to him, recognising exceptional academic performance remains an important part of the school’s philosophy, particularly in motivating younger students to aim higher in their educational journey.
The college also credited Enwere’s achievement to a combination of discipline, hard work, dedication, and the learning environment cultivated within the institution over the years.
Across different states, young Nigerians continue to distinguish themselves in national examinations, reinforcing the country’s reputation for producing intellectually gifted talents capable of thriving on global platforms.
NTIC congratulated Enwere, his teachers, parents, and the wider school community, expressing confidence in his future academic pursuits. The institution added that it remains focused on nurturing students who can compete internationally while contributing meaningfully to national development.
