New Covenant Christian College International, a quiet academic powerhouse nestled in the heart of Benue State, has just delivered what might be the most jaw-dropping JAMB performance in Nigeria this year. Eighteen students from the school have scored above 300 in the 2025 UTME, with one student hitting an extraordinary 368 — currently one of the highest score recorded so far! It is worthy of note that in previous years, not less than 10 students score above 300, with others scoring not less than 280.
Let that sink in.
In a country where scoring above 300 in JAMB is a mark of brilliance, eighteen students doing it from the same school in a single year is nothing short of a national academic miracle. It’s not just about one bright mind shining, it is a culture of excellence that New Covenant has clearly cultivated over time.
Teachers from the school are understandably beaming with pride, describing the success as the result of intense preparation, spiritual grounding, and a relentless focus on quality education. According to sources within the school, this year’s result didn’t come as a surprise, it was the harvest of months (and years) of dedicated work.
Here’s what makes this even more spectacular: many top-performing schools across Nigeria might have a handful of students break the 300 mark. But for New Covenant Christian College to have eighteen — and to top it off with a candidate scoring 368, that is elite. That is excellence on a national scale.
Students across Benue and beyond are already drawing inspiration from the story. And honestly, they should. Because this performance has done more than boost one school’s reputation, it has shown that brilliance can rise from anywhere, and right now, it’s rising from Makurdi.
As we await the official release of the national top scorers list from JAMB, one thing is clear: New Covenant Christian College International is not just one of the best schools in Benue — it just might be the best in Nigeria right now.
