UTME Result Forgery: Ejikeme Mmesoma Vindicated us – JAMB

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has described the admittance of Ejikeme Mmesoma of forging her UTME result as a vindication of the board’s position.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that Mmesoma admitted to have manipulated her 2023 UTME result during investigation by the ad-hoc committee set up by the Anambra State Government.

Reacting to the development, JAMB said Nigerians must learn to appreciate the efforts of agencies in the country.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin on Saturday, the body said the report by the committee proves that the teenager was capable of the act many Nigerians had tried to exonerate her of.

The said;

“Ms. Mmesoma has owned up to committing the heinous infraction, which was carefully crafted to destroy the very foundation of one of the nation’s agencies charged with the critical role of apportioning the limited educational resource of the nation based on fairness equity and integrity.

“One vital lesson that Nigerians should learn from the imbroglio, is to learn to appreciate the genuine efforts of their critical national institutions to chart the course of national rebirth.

“Hence, this attitude of attacking everything that makes the nation proud even by people who should know better, is disheartening. The flip side of this is to infer that some ethnic jingoists had perhaps been elevated to public office and recognition beyond their mental and emotional capacity.

“To those who have sent apologies after seeing the truth, we call on them to continue to believe in the capacity of the Board to deliver. We commend Anambra State Government for its patriotic and unbiased posture all through the period of the national challenge.

“Let us all put our hands together to build the Nigeria of our dreams as we congratulate Miss Kamyosikwu Chinyere Uche as the best scorer in the 2023 UTME exercise.”
