The embattled Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, candidate, Mmesoma
Ejikeme, has admitted scoring 249.
Mmesoma was reacting to claims that the feedback from JAMB
showed she scored 249.
The 19-year-old had claimed to have earned JAMB’s highest
score after her UTME result slip showed 362.
But, JAMB had faulted the result, stressing that she forged it.
The claims and counter-claims between Mmesoma and JAMB
caused a major controversy across Nigeria.
Amid the controversy, the board insisted she forged the
result on a template it stopped using in 2021.
Admitting that the first result was wrong, Mmesoma said she
should not be blamed for the mixup.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday,
Mmesoma said: “After all said and done, I now saw that I got 249.
“I sent them a text message there to know what really
happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see
it there.”
Mmesoma also faulted JAMB’s three-year ban on her, stressing
that it was not her fault.
“It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that, and
they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is
not fair,” she said.
