House of Representatives has urged the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) to desist from any further action on the controversy surrounding alleged manipulation of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result by Mmesoma Ejikeme, pending the outcome of investigation by its ad-hoc committee. The House, which resolved to set up an ad-hoc committee to probe the controversy surrounding the alleged UTME result manipulation, told JAMB to rescind the three years ban slammed on Ejikeme, pending the outcome of investigation.
Responding to claim that the feedback from JAMB showed her score as 249, she agreed. “Yes,†she said. “After all was said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there.â€Â She described the three years ban slammed on her by JAMB as unfair, stating that whatever error that might has been noticed was not her fault.
