Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, The Commissioner for Education in Anambra State has adopted Mmesoma Ejikeme, the embattled student of Anglican Girls Secondary School Nnewi who allegedly tampered with her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME results to emerge the highest score. The commissioner said in her statement that she adopted Mmesoma to help her actualize her dreams in life. ”I decided to adopt her to help her actualize her dreams. She is a human being, so we cannot throw her away just like that.” She said Mmesoma isnt the first person she is adopting. Even as a lecturer, i was adopting children and training them through schools. She said Mmesoma is doing well and still undergoing a psychotherapy class with the state appointed therapist.

” We are not going to let her down, we are still pleading with JAMB to reconsider its decision concerning her. Governor Chukwuma Soludo is very passionate about every citizen in Anambra State and so, we will train her through her education”. The Professor had invited Mmesoma to her office in the heat of the controversy and subsequently handed her over to the DSS department who questioned her over the incident”. However, while receiving her in her office, the commissioner explained that she adopted Mmesoma to see her through school.

Mmseoma made headlines when JAMB revealed that she manipulated her UTME result from 249 to 362, falsely parading herself as the highest scorer for 2023. JAMB slammed a three-year ban on her to serve as a deterrent to others after investigating her.
