Following the indictment of the 19-year-old candidate in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Mmesoma Ejikeme, by the committee set up by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has advised Nigerians to trust its efforts towards redefining the conduct of public examinations in the country.
JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, who spoke in a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday morning, said the distrust in the nation’s public institutions by many Nigerians had contributed significantly to the country’s poor image on the global stage.
The investigative committee report, submitted to Mr Soludo on Friday and has since gone viral on social media, confirmed the forgery allegation against the 19-year-old student.
