Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has directed 19-year-old Mmesomma Joy Ejikeme to undergo counselling and therapy for falsifying her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Soludo gave this directive in a letter signed by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, and addressed to the Principal of Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, where Mmesoma is a student.
The Anambra governor ordered that Mmesoma be handed over to the State Guidance Counselor and Professor of Clinical Psychology for evaluation.
According to the letter, the governor said the directive followed one of the recommendations of the panel constituted to investigate the matter, following the parading of the fake results which elicited interest, generated controversy and misgivings to the general public.
