Controversy

reports that JAMB has officially denied resolving any issues
related to Okeke’s record-breaking UTME score and identity inconsistencies

15, 2025, that the board “has not resolved” the matter and condemns
recent speculation as “malicious falsehood”.

resolution and labelled the rumours as attention-seeking and politically
motivated
JAMB's Concerns Highlighted
- JAMB
emphasised the unresolved discrepancies in Okeke’s NIN-linked state of
origin: previously recorded as Lagos (Amuwo-Odofin) in 2021, then
later as Anambra
- The
board also pointed out an issue with Okeke registering again for UTME
while still a 4th-year medical student at UNN, labelling the
situation “inconsistent and questionable”
JAMB’s Response Tone
- JAMB
called the resolution rumours a "malicious falsehood" and
stated it would no longer address similar unfounded assertions
- The
board maintained its role as a statutory regulatory body, asserting
that it upholds admission integrity and won’t be drawn into “sectional
politics”
What's Still Unresolved

The inconsistency in Okeke’s state
of origin between his 2021 and 2025 UTME registrations remains unclarified.
2.
JAMB has not confirmed any changes or
resolutions regarding the dispute over his identity or eligibility.
3.
There is no indication JAMB plans
to drop the matter; investigations and internal reviews are still in progress.
Final Summary
- No
official resolution has occurred—JAMB says the
controversy is ongoing.
- JAMB
asserts Okeke provided no satisfactory explanation, and the board’s
investigation remains active.
- Claims
that the case has been closed are pure speculation, according to
JAMB’s official statements.
