Professor Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has addressed the allegations made by Ejikeme Mmesoma, a candidate who recently took the UTME for the class of 2023.
In response to the debate surrounding Mmesoma’s result, Mr. Oloyede said that JAMB’s inquiries had shown that the accused candidate “was either duped or she is a member of a high-level syndicate engaged in manufacturing fake UTME results.”
The JAMB registrar maintained his stance in an interview with Premium Times on Monday evening, July 3rd, and made clear that the document being presented by Miss Mmesoma “belongs to another candidate who took the examination two years ago.”
Oloyede elaborated, highlighting an important distinction.
He said;
“If you scan the code, the candidate’s result will show. So I can say emphatically that the girl is parading a fake result. It is either she is being duped, or she is part of a syndicate manufacturing purported JAMB results.
“There are security features on our results, so I can emphasise that the girl is just trying to deceive the public. Her result is completely fake. Her claim that she printed the result from our site is a lie, totally incorrect. If we should reveal all that we know, people will be shocked. So if people are looking for shortcuts to achieve an end, that is what would happen.“
