The Cable reports that they have been unable to confirm the authenticity of the result but it has quickly garnered popularity online.

Going by the electronic version of the result, the student identified as Ibrahim Shamwifu, scored 99/100 in Use of English, 100/100 in Physics, 100/100 in Biology and 100/100 in Chemistry.

Shamwifu's registration number reads 65184979HA, with examination number C40509045, while his examination centre has been revealed to be Air Max Computer Institute, St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madala, Niger state.

News reports has also revealed that Shamwifu aspires to study Medicine and Surgery at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Attempts to verify Shamwifu’s results via the JAMB result portal have been unsuccessful so far, as the automated response from the portal revealed that the maximum possible number of checks had been exceeded for the student.

As unlikely Shamwifu’s result seems it may actually get some credence in the “perfect” academic performance of Daniel Dada Ayodele, which had been made public earlier in the week during the convocation of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
