Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, has been a subject of intense debate in the last five days over the claim that she got 362 in this year’s UTME. She had been celebrated for winning a N3m scholarship with her self-allotted UTME marks without anyone raising an eyebrow because nobody had an idea that it was fake and would have perhaps enjoyed her scholarship in peace but for her insistence on being formally recognised by JAMB as the highest scorer in the 2023 UTME.Mmesoma reported JAMB to the state Commissioner for Education for not recognising her as the candidate with the highest score. This prompted the ministry to complain to JAMB on her behalf only to hear a bombshell that she scored 249 as against the 362 she had claimed to get, She however, is still insistent that she scored 362. The Anambra State government still thinks the forged result should be investigated. It says it is not satisfied with the way JAMB went to social media to describe Mmesoma’s result as fake while an investigation into the matter was still ongoing.The Committee of Inquiry set up by the Government of Anambra State to thoroughly investigate the JAMB/Mmesoma’s matter has submitted its report, Detailing that Mmesoma made several request to JAMB portal and recieved her results from JAMB: Eng: 64, Phy: 54, Bio: 74, Che: 57, aggregating to 249. She then sent a request with a different reg. number showing a UTME result of 362. Eng: 98, Phy: 89, Bio: 94, Che: 81. This result differed substantially from the standard JAMB format.
