Innoson reacts to news that Joy Ejikeme manipulated JAMB score
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Ejikeme Joy, a student from Anambra State who was recognised for having the highest Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) score, has been the topic of controversy after she was called out by the Joint Matriculation and Examination Board (JAMB) for manipulating her score.
According to JAMB, she scored 249 and not 362, which was shared on the internet. However, despite the controversy, Innoson Motors, a leading car manufacturer in Nigeria, has continued to support the student. The company gave her N3 million for her achievement after the news of her result surfaced on the internet.
Speaking via Twitter, the Public Relations Officer of Innoson Motors, Cornelius Osigwe, said he met the girl in person and believes she couldn't have manipulated her result.
