INTERVIEW: I used AI to summarise notes, joined WhatsApp groups to study, says UTME top scorer
On Monday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) declared @OwoeyeDaniella the highest scorer in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The teenager topped the chart of the ten highest scorers with 372 marks. But from the depth of her preparation, the achievement is undoubtedly well deserved.
In this interview with TheCable’s IMOLEAYO OYEDEYI, the teenager takes a deep dive into the rigorous preparation and demanding journey that led to her UTME success. She says the biggest factor for her was not just parental support, but a mindset shift, because “big schools don’t define success”.

Thank you, Dr. Muyiwa Igbalajobi.
I appreciate your support for the Efon Alaaye Students' Union. And I'm super pumped about the academic opportunities ahead, courtesy of MAI Foundation.
I had the opportunity to meet the President of the Federation of Efon Alaaye Student Union (FEASU), Oluwferanmi Olaniyi, today. We discussed CFIMA and the upcoming Scholarship Summit for Ekiti students, exploring ways to create more opportunities for academic growth and global exposure. Most of our conversation centered on how Muyiwa Igbalajobi Foundation and Scholarships Cafe can actively support the student body through mentorship, scholarship guidance, and skill-building initiatives.
As a former member of the Federation of Efon Alaaye Student Union (FEASU) from 2005 to 2010 during my undergraduate program at UNAD, this meeting was significant. I am excited about the potential collaborations and look forward to working together to empower students and help them achieve their academic and professional goals.
