A Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidate Ejikeme Mmesoma has admitted that she was graded to have scored 249 by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and not 362.
“It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that and they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is not fair,” Mmesoma said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday.
Mmesoma said she sent an SMS to JAMB through its support system but got no response.
“That’s the only SMS I sent there. They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply.
“After all said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message there to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there.”
JAMB in a statement by its spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, accused the student of forging her result, but Mmesoma stood her ground that she scored 362 out of the total mark of 400.
Benjamin revealed that JAMB’s record indicated the candidate had sent a series of messages to the board’s automated telecoms system, including the results showing an aggregate of 362.
