Ejikeme Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Anambra, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), was recently celebrated and awarded a N3 million scholarship by Innocent Chukwuma, Chairman of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing company.
However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Sunday issued a statement to refute the claims, that the result being paraded by Mmesoma was manipulated and that her actual score was 249.
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, adding that the Board therefore enforce a disciplinary action of barring Mmesoma from sitting for the examination for three years.
Meanwhile, 9jayarn quick scan of the QR code of the result as presented by the candidate shows: ASIMIYU MARIAM OMOBOLANLE with registration number: 11231597AC and 138 as the score.
