An Independent Committee set up by the Anambra State Government has concluded its investigation on the controversy surrounding the alleged manipulation of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test scores by Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, a candidate in the examination.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that In Mmesoma’s submission, she owned up in the presence of her principal and the Education Secretary that the narration by the JAMB officials was a true and correct description of what transpired.

She also admitted to having given a manipulated result by herself unaided, using the same phone Airtel Number. According to her, she proceeded to the cybercafe (Prisca Global Computer, Uruagu, Nnewi) where she printed the results she had manipulated.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE

1.That Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma tenders an unreserved written apology to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the School (Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, Uruagu Nnewi) and the Anambra State Government. This should be done immediately.

2.EJikeme Joy Mmesoma should undergo psychological counselling and therapy

3.All prospective candidates for JAMB Adm1ss1on should adhere strictly to the guidelines processes and procedures of the examination body.

DON’T MISS:

This Online News Media reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had on Sunday accused the candidate of allegedly manipulating her UTME results and inflating the scores from 249 to 362.

But the candidate insisted that the 362 was the score she received both on the JAMB website and in the SMS sent to her by the board.

However, JAMB has restated its earlier position that the UTME result presented by Miss Mmesoma is “patently fake”, alleging that there was an infraction on the part of the candidate.

The examination body subsequently announced it would withdraw the candidate’s original UTME result and bar her from taking the test for three years.

But Miss Mmesoma, the candidate, in a viral video on Monday, insisted that the controversial score of 362 claimed by her was printed from the JAMB website, and the examination body’s accusation had left her traumatised.

JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday morning, said the candidate’s posture in the viral video showed that somebody was coaching and telling her what to say.
