Premiere Academy, Lugbe, Abuja, has once again demonstrated academic excellence in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with 21 of its students scoring above 300 out of 400 marks — a remarkable feat in a year marked by national concern over widespread poor results. 

Leading the exceptional group is 16-year-old Ogunmolu Olaoluwa, who scored 360 with a subject combination of English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. 

Following closely are 17-year-old Makrop Favour and Abduljalil Ishiaku, who earned 357 and 345, respectively. 

Six other students posted scores between 328 and 338, five others scored between 311 and 327, while seven more scored between 301 and 306. 

All 61 students from the school who took the UTME scored above 200, the widely recognized minimum threshold for university admission in Nigeria — further solidifying the school’s status as a top-performing institution in the Federal Capital Territory. 

Reacting to the results, Principal Mr. Chris Akinsowon credited the school’s consistent academic achievements to a culture rooted in competitiveness, ethics, and hard work. 

He praised the collaborative efforts of the School Board, management, parents, and strategic partners, attributing the success to their shared commitment to educational excellence. 

Mr. Akinsowon emphasized the school’s holistic approach to education, stating, “We aim to provide our students with the tools and opportunities to match their global peers — not only academically but also in life skills, creativity, leadership, and values.” 

He reaffirmed Premiere Academy’s dedication to evolving with global trends to ensure students are prepared for both academic and real-world challenges, promising continued investment in cutting-edge education, character development, and leadership training. 

These results shine a positive light on the potential of Nigeria’s education sector and reaffirm Premiere Academy’s reputation as a beacon of excellence in secondary education.
