A student of the Nigerian Tulip International Colleges, Kingsley Enwere, has been honoured by the school following his outstanding performance in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, where he scored 370 marks.
Enwere emerged among the top performers in the examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, alongside other high scorers earlier unveiled by the examination body.
JAMB had on May 11 released its top candidates in the 2026 UTME, with Owoeye Jesudunsin topping the national chart with 372 points. Enwere, who hails from Imo State, scored 370 points and reportedly applied to Nile University of Nigeria to study Computer Science, while Bamisile Emmanuel from Ondo State placed third with 369 points and applied to the Federal University of Technology, Akure to study Software Engineering.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by NTIC Media Consultant, Olumide Bajulaye, the school described the result as part of its “long-standing tradition of academic excellence and student success.”
The statement noted that the school organised a recognition ceremony in honour of Enwere, attended by members of the school community, stakeholders, and his family.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of NTIC, Fevzullah Bilgin, said the institution remains committed to sustaining high academic standards and motivating students to excel.
“NTIC has always believed in recognising exceptional academic efforts and inspiring students to push beyond limits in their educational journey,” Bilgin said.
The school attributed Enwere’s performance to “dedication, discipline, hard work,” as well as “the strong academic culture and learning environment consistently maintained by NTIC over the years.”
NTIC congratulated the student, his parents, teachers, and the wider school community, expressing confidence in his future academic path.
It added that it remains committed to nurturing students capable of competing globally and contributing to national development.
