Mmesoma Ejikeme : Owner of JAMB CBT Centre where Mmesoma Ejikeme Wrote Exams Finally Reveal the Truth
The unfolding saga surrounding the alleged fake result has taken an intriguing turn as Osita Chidoka, a former Minister of Aviation and owner of the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) centre where Mmesoma Ejikeme sat for her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has stepped forward to share his thoughts on the matter. Chidoka’s involvement adds a new perspective to the controversy and raises further questions about the authenticity of Mmesoma’s result.
In an effort to shed light on the situation, Chidoka called on Mmesoma to provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the source of her result. His motive for seeking clarity stems from his desire to potentially intercede on Mmesoma’s behalf and plead for leniency from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Chidoka believes that if Mmesoma were to come forward with a transparent account of how her result was obtained, he could potentially convince JAMB to consider her case with a more compassionate approach.
Chidoka’s concerns about the validity of Mmesoma’s result are based on two notable discrepancies that he discovered during his investigation. Firstly, he noticed that the name of the CBT centre where Mmesoma took the examination was inaccurately stated on the JAMB portal. This inconsistency raises doubts about the accuracy and reliability of the information provided. Secondly, Chidoka observed that the result template used for Mmesoma’s examination differed from the official template used by JAMB in 2023. This divergence raises further suspicions about the authenticity of the result.
These revelations from Chidoka not only add complexity to the already convoluted situation but also emphasize the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations surrounding Mmesoma’s result. The discrepancies highlighted by Chidoka warrant careful examination to determine the veracity of Mmesoma’s claimed score and the circumstances surrounding its acquisition.
As the controversy continues to capture public attention, there is an increasing demand for transparency and accountability from all parties involved. The public eagerly awaits further developments in this unfolding drama, as the truth behind Mmesoma’s alleged fake result is yet to be fully uncovered.
Chidoka said that he gave Mmesoma the benefit of the doubt and waited for her to explain how she got the result, but her response was not satisfactory.
He praised JAMB for defending its integrity and suggested that INEC should follow JAMB’s example by explaining the “technical glitch” the commission suffered in the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
In a statement on Wednesday, the ex-minister said:
“For Nmesoma, she should come clean and explain how she got that result and who led her down that path. If she does that, I will lend my voice to beg JAMB to note her age and show more leniency.”
Mmesoma claimed that she scored 362, but JAMB insisted that her actual score was 249.
Chidoka added on Twitter:
“I observed two significant red flags when I saw her result online. First, since 2021, the JAMB portal stopped referring to our center as Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development. The correct name on the JAMB portal and the Main Examination Slip is Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development).
“Due to the difference in our CAC registration details, JAMB insisted we change to Nkemefuna Foundation with Thomas Chidoka in a bracket as an identifier. We implemented the name change in 2021.
“As is to be expected, the Main Examination Slip bore the core name, Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Centre), but the result she presented had just Thomas Chidoka Centre without the prefix, Nkemefuna Foundation. This error raised my suspicion about the genuineness of the presented result.
“The second red flag was the result template. A cursory review of some of those who took the last examination at our center showed a different result slip template with the candidate’s passport picture, JAMB watermarks, and no mention of the name of the examination center.
“I gave the young Nmesoma the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if she would explain how she got the result, which is obviously not the approved JAMB result template used in 2023. Without that explanation, I knew it was a fake result.
Our Center has been involved with the JAMB CBT examination since 2016, and I have come to trust the integrity of the JAMB online examination platform.”
