Miffed by news making the rounds about a young student, Miss Ejikeme Chioma Mmesoma, who was recently pronounced the highest JAMB scorer 2023 but result recently rejected by JAMB as forged, the King of Six nations in Mekong River, HRH Eze Amb. Jerome Uzochukwu Ezeneche (Eze Nwata gwuoshimiri) has called for investigation into the saga so as to unravel the mystery behind the scandal
The announcement of Mmesoma of Anglican Secondary School, Nnewi Anambra State, as 2023 JAMB highest scorer, has attracted her good wills with auto maker giant Innoson, promising her scholarship to the tune of 3 million Naira
But in a swift reaction, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board announced on Sunday that it will cancel the results of Ejikeme Mmesoma and prosecute her after she announced that she had won the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination alleging that she manually inflated her score.
In a statement signed from his Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, HRH Ezeneche, who won 2020 Anambra personality of the year Awards in the Diaspora said after watching the video where Mmesoma stated her own side of the story, he appeals that all stakeholders comprising, the exam body, security agents and the Ministry of Education should institute a probe to ensure that the poor girls future is not ruined by the country’s poor technology glitches.
“It baffles me that in this modern era where virtually everything is done online, Exam body like JAMB could be alleging that its portal was hacked and result falsified. This is apauling and put integrity of the exam body at risk.” he said.
On the way forward, HRH Ezeneche calls for the script of the young girl so that the scores cumulated should be made available to the public domain.
“Until this is done, and truth established, JAMB should stop referring to Mmesoma as a cheat.”
