Dr. Chiwuike Uba, the media adviser to the bishop of the Diocese of Nike (Anglican Communion), who founded the school, verified his outcome in a statement made public on Thursday.
Azuokeke, who hails from Ba in the Idemmili South Local Government Area LGA of Anambra State, reportedly received 88 in chemistry, 86 in physics, and 64 in English.
He claimed that Azuokeke submitted an application to study electrical and electronic engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), his top preference.
“Azụokeke broke the record that set by Chidera Obi who scored 329 marks to emerge overall best, five years ago,” Uba noted.
