OSITA CHIDOKA, A FORMER AVIATION MINISTER AND CBT OWNER, SAID “IF MMESOMA IS TELLING THE TRUTH, I’LL IMPLORE JAMB.”

Mmesoma Ejikeme, a candidate for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has been encouraged by a former minister of aviation to be transparent about the source of her score.

The candidate will receive leniency from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) provided she is honest about the source of her results, according to Chidoka, who is also the proprietor of the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Center where Mmesoma took her exam.

“For Nmesoma, she ought to be honest and reveal how she arrived at that conclusion and who directed her in that direction. If she accomplishes that, I’ll join the chorus of those pleading with JAMB to take her age into account and be more forgiving, the ex-minister said in a statement on Wednesday.

Mmesoma asserted that she received a score of 362, but JAMB stated that her true score is 249.
