The management of Innoson Automobile Company,
says the N3 million scholarship awarded to Miss
Mmesoma Ejikeme will stand if found to be innocent
of the allegation by JAMB of result manipulation.


Mr Cornel Osigwe, Head of Corporate Communications
at Innoson Group, stated this while speaking with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Onitsha.
NAN reports that the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), had accused Ejikeme of
using a software to manipulate her score to 362 as
against 249.


According to Osigwe, it is strange to hear from JAMB
that Ejikeme manipulated her result.


“It is strange to us because we did our independent
verification and found out that Mmesoma Ejikeme
actually scored 362, when we printed her result.
“When it was claimed that she was the highest, we
waited for JAMB to come and clarify it, but they did
not and the media was publishing that she was the
highest.


“We also waited to see if there was going to be a
counter claim, but since there was no counter claim,
we awarded her the scholarship as the highest scorer.


“On Sunday, it was reported that JAMB claimed that
she manipulated her result. We are doing our
independent investigation as we speak to know if she
actually manipulated her result or the fault was from
JAMB.

“If we find out that the girl actually manipulated her
result for obvious reasons, we will withdraw the
scholarship.

“But if we find out that the mistake was actually from
JAMB; that they were the ones that awarded her the
score, or probably did a review and found out that her
actual score was 249, then our scholarship will still
stand.”

Osigwe advised Ejikeme not to panic during this
period of investigation, saying that they have the
capacity to carry out proper investigation to unravel the
truth.


He further stressed that if they find out that she is
innocent of the allegation, whether she scored the
highest or not, the scholarship will still stand. (NAN)

Tribalism in SouthEast is so much, but they accuse others

The last best score was from Ekiti and a Yoruba boy, not a reward and no scandal

Perhaps there's a glitch in there system, calling for the arrest of the lady and passing judgement is a bit too hasty . Even CBN dey suffer system glitch once in awhile.

I don't even know how a kid will just sit down and devise a means to deceive a whole country.

Some of these kids go to cybercafe and demand for two results to be printed, an original one and a fake one. The fake one is meant to intimidate their school mates or to deceive their parents.

This particular one has attracted attention because scholarship was involved. The one from Kaduna scored 380 but he didn't even register for the exams.

Trust Oloyede, he will prove it as already explained by JAMB. Innoson explanation is not bad enough if mistake is from JAMB of which JAMB should also compensate her. But if server is hacked into or any other manipulation is proven to her face, she should be reminded in prison for 3 months and withdraw her score from her. She should be made to resit the exam next year by ensuring no university offers her admission so she can learn to be honest in her future dealings
