JAMB releases Ejikeme Joy’s "original" result, shows different score

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially shared the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slip of Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma. This follows the buzzing controversy surrounding her 362 score which was claimed to have been manipulated and forged. JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, had on Sunday, July 2, accused Ejikeme of manually manipulating her UTME result to get a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors. During an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday, July 4, Benjamin posted Ejikeme’s JAMB result which revealed that the student of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, Anambra state, scored 249 in the exam, TheCable reported. The UTME result presented by JAMB is different from the result slip being paraded by Mmesoma, which showed she scored 362. See the post below:

This is coming shortly after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) revealed ways in which candidates inflate their 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results. The examination body disclosed that candidates and their alleged sponsors defraud Nigerians with the claims that they had excellent results or got the highest score in the UTME using a particular software. JAMB made reference to Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362, and Atung Gerald from Kaduna state, who claimed to have scored 380 in the UTME, but had neither obtained the 2023 UTME application documents nor participated in the examination.

She shared the result slip printed from the website of JAMB with its barcode and its QR code. However, she disclosed in the video that JAMB has described the printed results from their website as fake. In the midst of the back and forth, Charly Boy has taken to his Twitter page to express his dissatisfaction with the way JAMB is handling the case. He has asked JAMB to retrieve the original exam paper of Ejikeme Joy to be remarked by an external body for clearance. Charley Boy tweeted, “JAMB must produce her paper for an external body to remark. I don’t trust the mark they claim they awarded her right now. “JAMB has ended up making the young girl popular and the girl on the other hand exposed JAMB’s corruption & ineptitude just like INEC.”
