Obiageli Ezekwesili, a Former Minister of Education, has spoken on the controversy involving Mmesoma Ejikeme, a girl at the Anglican Girls Secondary School Uruagu, who allegedly had her UTME results faked.
Ejikeme, however, expressed surprise in a video she made yesterday when the examination body apparently deemed a result she had printed out from the JAMB webpage to be fake.
The teenager, who prided herself on being a brilliant student, claimed that the accusations against her had traumatized her.
Reacting to the situation via Twitter, Ezekwesili called for an independent investigation into the matter.
She insisted that the investigation would help in unearthing the root problem and reveal the facts surrounding the situation.
She wrote, “An Independent investigation would turn this curious episode into a Learning Opportunity for @JAMBHQ and everyone, especially students.
“I frankly see no downsides in asking a team of Independent Technology folks to investigate and publicly share their findings. Let’s do it.
“This saga between Mmesoma Ejikeme and @JAMBHQ requires an Independent Tech investigation to unearth all facts. Listening to her in this video, it is reasonable to request a forensic-investigation to help reveal what really happened. I have reached out to the Registrar of JAMB.”
