Owner of JAMB CBT Centre Where Mmesoma Ejikeme Wrote Exams Reveals Vital Information

Cursory: Osita Chidoka, owner of Mmesoma Ejikeme’s CBT center, questions the authenticity of her UTME result due to discrepancies in the center’s name and result template. He praised JAMB’s integrity defense and calls for Mmesoma to clarify how she obtained the result. The House of Representatives forms a committee to investigate, requesting JAMB to suspend action pending the investigation’s completion.

Osita Chidoka, the former Minister of Aviation and owner of the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) center where Mmesoma Ejikeme took her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has urged Mmesoma to provide an explanation for the source of her result. Chidoka expressed concerns about the authenticity of her result after discovering two discrepancies that raised suspicions.

First off, the name of the center was inaccurately stated on the JAMB portal, and secondly, the result template used for the examination differed from the one used by JAMB in 2023.

Chidoka stated that he gave Mmesoma the benefit of the doubt and awaited her explanation of how she obtained the result, but her response did not satisfy his concerns.

He commended JAMB for its defense of its integrity and suggested that INEC should follow JAMB’s example by addressing the “technical glitch” experienced during the presidential election on February 25, 2023.Chidoka emphasized the need for Mmesoma to provide a clear explanation for the origin of her result.

If she does so, he stated that he would plead with JAMB for leniency, taking into account her age. Chidoka’s statement highlights the importance of transparency and integrity in the examination process and draws attention to the need for clarification regarding the discrepancies observed.

In a statement on Wednesday, the ex-minister said: “For Nmesoma, she should come clean and explain how she got that result and who led her down that path. If she does that, I will lend my voice to beg JAMB to note her age and show more leniency.”

Mmesoma claimed that she scored 362, but JAMB insisted that her actual score was 249.

Chidoka added on Twitter: “I observed two significant red flags when I saw her result online. First, since 2021, the JAMB portal stopped referring to our center as Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development. The correct name on the JAMB portal and the Main Examination Slip is Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development).

“Due to the difference in our CAC registration details, JAMB insisted we change to Nkemefuna Foundation with Thomas Chidoka in a bracket as an identifier. We implemented the name change in 2021.

“As is to be expected, the Main Examination Slip bore the core name, Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Centre), but the result she presented had just Thomas Chidoka Centre without the prefix, Nkemefuna Foundation. This error raised my suspicion about the genuineness of the presented result.

“The second red flag was the result template. A cursory review of some of those who took the last examination at our center showed a different result slip template with the candidate’s passport picture, JAMB watermarks, and no mention of the name of the examination center.

“I gave the young Nmesoma the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if she would explain how she got the result, which is obviously not the approved JAMB result template used in 2023. Without that explanation, I knew it was a fake result.

“Our Center has been involved with the JAMB CBT examination since 2016, and I have come to trust the integrity of the JAMB online examination platform.” On Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, Mmesoma said she should not be blamed for the controversy.

“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,” she said.

The actions of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in withdrawing the Mmesoma’s result and imposing a three-year ban have been criticized by the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives expressed their disapproval, particularly because the issue involved a minor, and deemed JAMB’s actions unprofessional.

In response, the House of Representatives has established an ad-hoc committee to investigate the matter further. They have also requested that JAMB refrain from taking any further action until the committee concludes its investigation.
