The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will recognise academic excellence by awarding N5 million to each of seven outstanding Nigerian undergraduates. According to reports, the awards are organised jointly with Rite Foods and are part of a maiden awards initiative. The seven recipients are selected based on performance outcomes linked to the 2025 admission exercise, with JAMB presenting the list of names that meet the criteria for the excellence awards.
Both outlets report that the total number of beneficiaries is seven and that each student will receive the same amount: N5 million. The announcements describe the awards as a way to reward high-achieving students for their academic performance, and they indicate that the programme is newly introduced.
Further details such as the specific criteria used to select the students beyond the reference to the 2025 admission exercise, the timing of the awards presentation, and the list of recipients are covered in the respective articles.
