Innoson Vehicles remains steadfast in its mission to support deserving students, invest in the future of our education sector and uphold the highest ethical standards
The Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company has withdrawn its scholarship awarded to a well-celebrated Anambra state student, Ejikeme Mmesoma after an investigation revealed that she forged her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test scores.
Mmesoma, an Anglican Girls Secondary School in Nnewi, Anambra State, had claimed to be the top scorer in the 2023 UTME with 362.
Recalled that the Anambra State Government, last week, set up a panel of inquiry into the controversy. According to the report by the panel of inquiry, Mmesoma confirmed she single-handedly forged the result before approaching a cyber cafe for printing.
In a statement by the Head of Corporate Communications and Affairs, Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe, said though it was a difficult decision to withdraw the scholarship award, the action was a testament to its unyielding commitment to honesty, integrity and merit-based recognition.
He disclosed that it was involved in the process of investigating allegations surrounding the 2023 UTME examination result of Miss Mmesoma
“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.
