“Hope restored” – Needy girl breaks down in tears as governor grants her full scholarship

A young girl who recently sat for her 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams at Milimani Botwa Primary School, has been granted a full scholarship by the Trans Nzoia governor, George Natembeya. The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) is a crucial milestone for students in Kenya, akin to Nigeria’s common entrance examination, determining their eligibility for entry into secondary school. For young girl whose name is Agnes Nasimiyu, this momentous occasion was marked not only by academic excellence but also by an unexpected opportunity that promises to transform her future.

Nasimiyu, coming from an underprivileged background, couldn’t hold back her tears of joy upon learning that Governor Natembeya had offered her a full scholarship. The scholarship, generously provided, will cover her entire four-year education at Bunyore Girl’s High School, enabling Nasimiyu to pursue her academic aspirations without the financial constraints that have often hindered students from similar backgrounds. The governor’s decision to extend a helping hand to Nasimiyu was sparked by her outstanding KCPE performance, where she scored an impressive 377 marks. This remarkable achievement caught the attention of Governor Natembeya, who was quick to recognize and reward her potential. “I am very happy to the extent that I have nothing else to say,” Nasimiyu said after being presented with the scholarship.

UTME score: Innoson withdraws scholarship awarded to Mmesoma

The management of Innoson Automobile Company has withdrawn the N3 million scholarship awarded to Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme over her involvement in Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) result manipulation.

Mmesoma Ejikema poses in a picture with the Chairman of Innoson motors, Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma According to him, “In recent days, we have been involved in the process of investigating allegations surrounding the 2023 UTME examination results of one of our scholarship recipients, Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme. “It was reported initially that Miss Joy scored exceptionally high on the exam, a feat that led to her being awarded a scholarship by our company. “However, subsequent reports of discrepancies in her UTME score led us to seek clarification from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and to allow her to voice her stance, we engaged in direct dialogue with Miss Joy. “Further to this, a committee set up by Gov. Charles Soludo, carried out a thorough independent investigation into this matter,” he said. Osigwe noted that the findings from the rigorous investigation have now confirmed that Miss Mmesoma did manipulate her UTME results. “This conclusion is deeply disappointing and stands in direct contravention of the values we hold dear at Innoson Vehicles, particularly those that underscore our scholarship program. “In line with these principles and in response to the confirmed findings, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the scholarship awarded to Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme. “This action is a testament to our unyielding commitment to honesty, integrity, and merit-based recognition,” he said. He acknowledged that the development was regrettable, and it has undoubtedly caused dismay among those who stood by Miss Mmesoma. He assured that Innoson Vehicles remained steadfast in its mission to support deserving students, invest in the future of the education sector, and upheld the highest ethical standards.
