A Nigerian man has taken to Twitter to recount his own experience following the controversy surrounding Anambra student, Mmesoma Ejikeme accused of inflating her UTME score.
The Twitter user identified as Dr. Nnanyelugo with the handle, @Nnanyelugo13 said he had similar experience with Mmesoma.
According to his tweet, he recounted seeing different scores each time he checked the JAMB portal: 162, 286, 215, and 214.
He wrote;
“In 2009, JAMB changed my score 4 times, 162, 286, 215, 214. Each day it kept on changing, I was using Nokia touch then, I don’t even know how to operate a computer then, so who was manipulating my own result then?”
JAMB officials have yet to release an official statement regarding the allegations made by @Nnanyelugo13 and others.
However, it is anticipated that the regulatory body will launch an inquiry into the matter to ascertain the veracity of the claims and take appropriate action if necessary.
Reactions:
@Jacob Silas: “I knew that little girl could be innocent. This is a severe accusation to lay on a young child.”
@Saraiii : “This entire thing needs to be thoroughly investigated don’t put blames on anyone yet.”
@Jennifer Bryan: “I know someone this happened to too. Sometimes it may not be the fault of the candidate.”
