Mr. Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, who was said to have falsified her 2023 UTME result, has expressed remorse and issued an apology to both Nigerians and JAMB.
He revealed that his daughter had deceived him by concealing the truth about her actions. In a recent interview with NTA, he acknowledged that his daughter had not been forthcoming with him regarding her manipulations, which she carried out independently using her smart device.
He apologized unreservedly to JAMB and Nigerians for his daughter’s action.
Mr Ejikeme said: “My daughter did not open up to me on time; when I realised her mistake, I blamed her.
“I told her, Mmesoma, be careful; you know you are a star and will not dent your image.
“But I am still apologising to JAMB and Nigerians as a father to pardon her.”

MR ROMANUS EJIKEME, MMESOMA’S FATHER TENDERS APOLOGY.
The Nigerian automobile manufacturer, Innoson Automobile Company has withdrawn the N3 million scholarship offered to Anambra school girl Mmesoma Ejikeme who manipulated her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.
This was made known by the Head of Corporate Communications and Affairs, Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe, on Saturday.
In the panel’s report released earlier, it was recommended that Mmesoma immediately tender an unreserved written apology to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, the school (Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, Uruagu Nnewi), and the state government and should undergo psychological counselling and therapy.
The eight-member panel had been set up by the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Wednesday to investigate the ongoing controversy between the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and Mmesoma, whose UTME result has come under controversy, with the mandate of making its findings public.
