In a year marked by a nationwide decline in performance on the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Deeper Life High School (DLHS) has once again set a remarkable standard of academic excellence.
At the forefront of this achievement is Adogbo David Kikisoko, a talented student from Kogi State, who achieved an impressive total score of 371 across the four subjects he sat for in the UTME. His outstanding performance includes scores of 77 in the English Language, and an exceptional 98 in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given that over 60% of candidates nationwide struggled to achieve a score of 200 or above out of a possible 400.
Adogbo’s remarkable success is a testament to his diligence, discipline, and unwavering dedication to his studies. Such an achievement deserves recognition, and it is our belief that he should be considered for a federal or state scholarship to support his pursuit of higher education. This recognition would not only reward his hard work but also serve as an inspiration to other students preparing to take the UTME.
Additionally, it is important to highlight that a total of 300 students from DLHS nationwide scored 300 or above in the 2025 UTME, further underscoring the school’s commitment to academic excellence.
We urge the Nigerian government to celebrate these academic trailblazers, along with their educators, parents, and mentors, who have played a crucial role in guiding them on their educational journeys.
Together, let us honor these achievements and encourage a culture of excellence in education across the nation.
