Mmesoma’s school principal shocked as pupil confesses to manipulating UTME score

The Principal Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, Uruagu, Nnewi, and the Education Secretary — Diocese of Nnewi (Anglican Communion) have expressed their disappointment and shock over Mmesoma Ejikeme’s confession of faking her UTME result.

Mmesoma Ejikeme’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) score was a hot topic for days as Nigerians were split between those who backed her and those who thought she cheated to get the score.

The same girl had previously received a scholarship from notable Nigerians like Innoson Vehicle after she allegedly won the 2023 JAMB competition with a score of at least 360.

As inconsistencies in the specifics of her result emerged, JAMB declared that the result she had been flaunting was fraudulent.

Nigerians have been regretting supporting her.

The teenager among other things said that everything JAMB said about her fake result was true.

The school management’s submission was covered in the 8-page report released by Governor Charles Soludo’s panel of inquiry.

As reported by Punch, the panel’s report captured the school’s reaction, saying:

“In their own submissions, the Principal Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, Uruagu, Nnewi, and the Education Secretary — Diocese of Nnewi (Anglican Communion) expressed shock at what transpired where in their presence, Mmesoma admitted to have manipulated her UTME results, deceiving the school, her immediate family and the state government.”
