Mmesoma Ejikeme the Anambra state student whose outcome was as of late removed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has conceded that she for sure scored 249 as against the 362 she at first thought she scored.
Mmesoma had guaranteed that her "results notice" slip for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination showing a score of 362 out of 400 was printed from the JAMB results portal, however the board excused her case and said it was forged. On Tuesday, the board pulled out her outcome and prohibited her for a long time from taking the examination.
While showing up on Channels TV earlier today July 5, Mmesoma said she ought not be faulted for the contention.
JAMB's spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, had said that its records indicated Mmesoma had sent a series of messages to the board’s automated telecoms system, including the results in which she claimed she scored 362.
Responding, Mmesoma said the only SMS she sent to JAMB was through its support system: “That’s the only SMS I sent there.”
Asked if she got any feedback, she said
“They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply.”
On the claim that she used an Airtel line, Mmesoma replied: “Yes,” but she added it was “not through USSD code”.
“The one I checked through the USSD code is the one of 360 that I saw,” she explained further
Responding to the claim that the feedback from JAMB showed her score as 249, she agreed.
“Yes. 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.” she said
Reacting to the decision of the board to withdraw her result and ban her for three years, she said
‘’I am sad about it. The problem is not my fault that I printed my result like that. They said that I forged my result but it is not my fault. They banning me is not fair to me''.
