UTME SCORE MANIPULATION: Innoson Vehicles Makes U-Turn, Withdraws Scholarship Pledge To Miss Joy Mmesoma Ejikeme 

Following the outcome of the findings released by the Anambra state constituted committee on screening on Mmesoma Ejikeme/UTME Score Manipulation, Innoson Vehicles has decided to make a U-turn by withdrawing the Scholarship Award promised to one Miss Joy Mmesoma Ejikeme from Anambra State.

This was disclosed on its Twitter handle it reads, “We acknowledge that this development is regrettable, and it has undoubtedly caused dismay among those who stood by Miss Joy, including her school principal and other well-meaning supporters.

“This action is a testament to our unyielding commitment to honesty, integrity, and merit-based recognition

“In line with these principles and response to the confirmed findings, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the scholarship awarded to Miss Joy Mmesoma Ejikeme.

“This conclusion is deeply disappointing and stands in direct contravention of the values we hold dear at Innoson Vehicles, particularly those that underscore our scholarship program.”

Innoson alse went further to explain, to this, a committee set up by the Anambra State Governor, Dr. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, carried out a thorough independent investigation into this matter.

It is however, the subsequent reports of discrepancies in her UTME score that led us to seek clarification from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and to allow her to voice her stance, even as we engaged in direct dialogue with Miss Joy.

Though, It was reported initially that Miss Joy Mmesoma Ejikeme scored exceptionally high on the 2023 UTME exam, a feat that led to her being awarded a scholarship by our company but the recent confirmed investigation has proved her otherwise so we thereby withdraw our stance which granted her scholarship award until further notice.
