The young chap from Yobe state, who studied at Nigerian Tulip International Colleges (NTIC), scored the total of 342.
This is a great achievement going by the number of secondary school students who find it difficult to make even half that mark.
Quite a number of Nigerians, particularly from the northern region are pleased with Shuaibu’s great feat and many of them have taken to social media to celebrate him.
According to The Sun, JAMB revealed that 15-year-old Ezenala Ekene Franklin, from Imo state emerged the best candidate with the score of 347, and he was followed closely behind by 16-year-old Igbam Emmanuel Chidiebube, who scored 346 points.
