This comes as JAMB maintains its claim that Miss Ejikeme Mmesoma's UTME result is 'obviously fake.'
In a statement released by the Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Tuesday, the candidate was barred from taking the exam for the next three years.
In response, Chibueze expressed an interest in sponsoring the 17-year-old student to study in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom through his company.
