Mmesoma Ejikeme Gets Scholarship In US, UK, Canada After JAMB Accused Her Of UTME Result Forgery

Gaius Chibueze, The founder of Tatcoin, has offered a scholarship to Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student who was accused of inflating her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.

KanyiDaily recalls that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had accused Ejikeme Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, Anambra State, of inflating her result and announcing herself as the top scorer for the 2023 UTME.

JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said the 16-year-old student, who was widely celebrated for scoring the highest mark of 362 in the UTME, scored 249 in the just-concluded exam.

Benjamin claimed that the pupil tampered with the original result to seek favour from the Nigerian public, noting that the result would be withdrawn while Mmesoma would face prosecution.

Reacting to the allegations in a video, Mmesoma Ejikeme expressed surprise that a result she printed out from the JAMB portal could be termed by the examination board as fake.

The 16-year-old student, who lamented that she was traumatized, vehemently denied the allegation made against her by JAMB, saying she is not capable of manipulating her own result.

Reacting via his Twitter page, Gaius Chibueze popularly known as Bitcoin Chief, condemned JAMB’s attack on the student’s character, adding that he will sponsor her education up to the master’s level in either the United Kingdom, Canada, or the United States.

The Bitcoin billionaire businessman said his team would ensure they get her admission from any institution in the countries mentioned above, and would take charge of her fees and upkeep until she completes her Master’s level.

He wrote, “I and our company @VoiceOfTheEast are ready to offer Miss Joy Mmesoma a 100% scholarship to study in the UK, CANADA or the UNITED states of 🇺🇸 America.

“Our team will work with her to get admission From any university of her choice in any of the above 3 countries. We will take 100% charge of her Fees and upkeep until her masters level. @lota_nna, kindly get in touch with her and her family!

“We are calling on @JAMBHQ to desist from such unprofessional behavior. This is not just an attack on her person but the entire Igbo race!”

Meanwhile, JAMB has withdrawn Ejikeme Mmesoma’s 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.”
