The Anambra State Government has raised an alarm after it discovered that the widely publicised JAMB score of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma is likely to be a fake UTME result.
The candidate was said to have scored 362 in her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME before the real truth surfaced.
Mmesoma is a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi.
The claim against the student comes after the chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing, Chief Innocent Chukwuma announced N3 million scholarship to the girl.
However, Inoson said she can no longer access the fund until the investigation is completed.
Mmesoma became an instant celebrity after her alleged 362 score went viral as the overall best score in the 2023 UTME.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), which conducts the UTME, had on Sunday, declared Mmesoma’s 362 UTME score as fake, and revealed that her score was manually inflated, as her original score was 249. JAMB also announced the immediate withdrawal of Mmesoma’s UTME score.
Anambra State Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh said she was the one that raised the alarm after the girl honoured an invitation in the process of the plan by the state government to honour her.
The commissioner then alerted the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board about Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma’s alleged fake UTME result.
