UTME score: My daughter always come out best in class, says Mmesoma’s father

Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School Uruagu in Nnewi, Anambra State, who was accused by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result, says her daughter had always come out as overall best student from her nursery school days till date.

JAMB had accused the student of using software to manipulate her score to 362 as against 249.

Ejikeme, while speaking on the development in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Monday, said: “My daughter has been taking the first position from her nursery school till now. Some of these results are still with me and I have shown them to some journalists who came to my house and they were surprised.

“I showed her results to them and they were like wow. Those who have met with her will know she can’t manipulate results.

“I am just explaining to the world that my daughter’s result has been manipulated. I am not happy about it, they gave her result to another person and they are still intimidating her. What they are doing is not good.”

In her reactions, Ejikeme described the allegation of result manipulation as unfair, saying she did not use any software to manipulate her score as claimed by JAMB.

She said she used her examination registration number to login into the JAMB portal and printed out her result through her phone.

The student stated that since JAMB and the Department of State Services (DSS) were working together, they should have completed investigation before releasing result, adding that she’s innocent of the allegation of result manipulation.
