Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has taken steps to address the case of Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme, a student who admitted to forging her JAMB score.
In a letter to the Principal of Anglican Girls Secondary School Nnewi, Governor Soludo has instructed the immediate commencement of psychological counseling and therapy sessions for Mmesoma.
The directive aligns with the recommendations of the committee set up by the state government to investigate the matter.
The committee’s report made available to journalists, reveals that Mmesoma confessed to falsifying her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result without any external assistance.
She admitted to changing her score after openly confessing to the act in the presence of her principal and the Education Secretary.
To address the situation, Governor Soludo has ordered Mmesoma to write apologies to JAMB, her school, and the Anambra State Government.
Additionally, she will undergo psychological counseling and therapy sessions facilitated by a Professor of Clinical Psychology.
This proactive approach aims to provide support and guidance to Mmesoma while addressing the consequences of her actions.
It also reflects the commitment of the Anambra State Government to uphold academic integrity and ensure the well-being of its students.
