Miss Mmesoma reportedly manually inflated her results, claiming she scored 362
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has said a certain Ejikeme Mmesoma who had earlier been celebrated to have scored the highest mark in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations falsified her result.
“The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for being high scorers in the 2023 UTME,” a statement by the board reads. “The Board is constrained to set the records straight and wishes to state unequivocally that many of the results which many of these candidates are parading are fake.
She claimed to have scored 98 points in English Language, 89 points in Physics, 94 points in Biology and 81 points in Chemistry to get 362 of the total 400 points. “This result has demonstrated the investment and priority the administration of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo accords to the education sector in the state,” Mr Aburime wrote in a statement. “Anambra state has once again demonstrated its pride of place as the cradle of academic excellence in the country.”
Legit quoted the Innoson founder as speaking when he received Miss Mmesoma and her father at his Umudim Nnewi country home. “This latest scholarship award is a testament to our’ dedication to empowering young Nigerians, and investing,” he said.Meanwhile, JAMB said Miss Mmesoma had also quickly requested her 2022 UTME result for possible alteration.
