The directive is in line with one of the recommendations of
the Committee set up by Anambra State Government to investigate the matter,
following the parading of the fake results which elicited interest and
generated controversy and misgivings to the general public.

 

Channels TV reported that the committee of inquiry set up by
the Anambra State Government to look into the examination fraud involving
Mmesoma confirmed that she manipulated her UTME result, giving herself a score
of 362 as against an actual score of 249.

We’ve been vindicated
– JAMB

 

Following the report of the Anambra State Committee of
Inquiry which indicted Mmesoma, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) said it has been vindicated.

 

The Board stated that this had further reinforced its
position that its system was not and cannot be compromised.

 

Having initially come under fire from some quarters for
declaring Mmesoma a fraud, JAMB in a statement on Saturday, said it “will not
despair in spite of the painful realisation that some Nigerians would do
anything to cast aspersions on the good name of the Board.”
