The Head of Corporate Communications at Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe queries the accusations against Mmesoma Ejikeme, who allegedly faked her result as the highest scorer in the 2023 UTME.
This comes after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB stated in a statement that the Ejikeme who was declared the best UTME student in Anambra scored 249 and not 362.
In response to the allegations, Cornel Osigwe who has met the best UTME student while awarding her a N3M scholarship argued otherwise.
According to Osigwe, Mmesoma Ejikeme does not have the know-how to manipulate her result and also, affirmed her academic prowess as confirmed by her school.
Osigwe in a post via his official Twitter handle, @cornelosigwe said, “The girl I met doesn’t have the brain and capacity to manipulate her result. There is more to this story. A proper investigation needs to be done. Abeg let the poor breath.
“That girl was one of the most brilliant in her school, according to the Principal, her parents couldn’t even afford to pay for her WAEC and NECO Exams. Of what advantage will it offer her to manipulate her JAMB score? Let the poor breathe pls.”
