The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says it is going to prosecute Ejikeme Mmesoma, a 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidate from Anambra State for “manipulating” her result in this year’s examination.
“Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not 362 she claimed,” the Board said in a statement on Sunday signed by its spokesman, Fabian Benjamin. “She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarship and other recognitions.” JAMB also said the original result of Mmesoma would be withdrawn, stating that many candidates are parading fake results having “used some funny software packages”. Already, the candidate was said to have been awarded a N3m.

Imo State Governor and Chairman, South East Governors’ Forum, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, has assured the people of South East, particularly those that are resident in Lagos that the zone would soon be made comfortable for them to bring back their investments to their home land. He told them that plans were underway to host the South East security and economic summit, where issues of insecurity in the zone and investment bottlenecks would be tackled so that the much awaited rapid development of the entire region would take off.
He made the revelation on Thursday during a private chat with some Igbo businessmen in Lagos, as they assessed the situation of the Igbo people in Lagos, following the aftermath of the 2023 general elections. The Igbo in Lagos have suffered varying degrees of attacks and destruction of their means of livelihood since after the February 25 and March 18 presidential and governorship elections in the state. Among the long list of attacks and destruction of the property of the Igbo in Lagos was the recent demolition of about 17 shops belonging to them at Alaba International Market.
Igbo dignitaries that graced the event included the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, Senator Patrick Ndubueze, Chief Tony Chukwu, Major-General Obi Umahi (retd), Chief Ben Okoye, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, and Chief Jerry Chukwueke, among others.
