Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State is excited over reports indicating that students from across public and private schools in Kwara State are recording impressive results in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, indicated that the governor is particularly happy with the marks scored by Master Samuel Oluwasemilore of Government Secondary School, Omu Aran.

Oluwasemilore scored 358 in the test.

The statement quoted the governor as particularly congratulating the 30 students of Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Model College, who scored between 300 and 355 marks.
