He said the scandal would most likely psychologically and emotionally affect the teenage girl. He also noted that the examination board exposed the minor to unnecessary stigma.
He said:
“Only another examination supervised by independent observers will bring this matter to rest, and we will avail ourselves to be part of the supervision if need be."
He urged the examination board to thoroughly investigate before concluding the JAMB result falsification case.
As reported by Leadership, Arthur-Ugwa, said:
“JAMB must, as a matter of national importance, realise the seriousness of its role in society and stop being in the news for the wrong reasons.
“If its management can no longer hold forth, then let the Federal Government overhaul the entire board and save our country and her people from needless embarrassment.’

Meanwhile, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has again cleared the air regarding the issues surrounding Ejikeme Mmesoma's UTME results.
JAMB registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, said Mmesoma, the self-acclaimed top scorer, was either scammed or a member of syndicates manufacturing fake UTME results.
Oloyede further revealed the document paraded by Mmesoma belongs to another student who sat for UTME two years ago.
