The management of Innoson Automobile Company has revoked the N3 million scholarship awarded to Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme. This is due to her involvement in faking her Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) results.
This was made known in a statement signed by Mr Cornel Osigwe, Head of Corporate Communications at Innoson. Group.
The statement reads, “It was reported initially that Miss Joy scored exceptionally high on the exam, a feat that led to her being awarded a scholarship by our company.
“However, subsequent reports of discrepancies in her UTME score led us to seek clarification from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and to allow her to voice her stance, we engaged in direct dialogue with Miss Joy.
“Further to this, a committee set up by Gov. Charles Soludo carried out a thorough independent investigation into this matter,”
“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.
“In line with these principles and in response to the confirmed findings, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the scholarship awarded to Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme.
“This action is a testament to our unyielding commitment to honesty, integrity, and merit-based recognitions”
