This is to formally appeal for the fatherly intervention of Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, regarding injustice meted to me. This is my story:
My name is Miss John Blessing Ehigocho. In the year 2017, I enrolled for IJMB at the centre, All Over Central Polytechnic (ACP), Sango-Ota, Ogun State. On completion of my programme, I received the statement of my result in 2018 which bears my name (attached for your perusal).
That same year, I put in for the University of Ilorin. I was given admission via direct entry into the University of Ilorin in 2018 to study Sociology (copy of admission letter also attached). It is a norm in the University of Ilorin to undergo a clearance process again upon attainment of 300 level where students will be asked to tender every necessary document used in gaining admission into the university including the IJMB result. I did like other students. It was unfortunate that weeks later, I was called upon by the university authority that the verification conducted in Zaria indicated that my results bore another person’s name in the spreadsheet. I was then told to contact the centre where I sat for my IJMB programme. I went ahead to do this without delay.
After much pressure from my family, the centre opened up on what must have gone wrong. According to them, at the close of registration/deadline given to the centre from Zaria for registration of students, it registered extra non-existing names which affords the centre more slots for those students who might come to register later on, after the exams. Aftermath, the centre then makes sure all necessary corrections are made to reflect the actual students’ name. However, in my own case, this was not done, which explains why they have a different name carrying my details on their spreadsheet at Zaria. Am I to be blamed for this misdemeanour on the part of All Over Central Polytechnic, Sango-Ota, Ogun State?
At this point, the officials of the centre said nothing could be done from Zaria to have the names corrected thereby making me the victim of their carelessness. They pleaded to get me registered for another exam. I took the exam last year (2022) with a statement of result issued to me same year but I was still hopeful that something positive would come out of the situation as I was supposedly rounding up my programme at the time and my institution (University of Ilorin) was already compiling results to determine those on good standing in readiness for graduation.
However, in December 2022, the graduation list was released. Unfortunately, I was not part of those whose names were on the list not because my results were not good but because of the underlying issue which the university believes is a case of impersonation. I am left hopeless and helpless.
The aim of sharing this my story with you is that I need your good office, knowing you as a man of faith and integrity, to redress this injustice meted to me and unravel the true situation of things regarding this matter. I count on your steadfast astuteness in this regard, sir.
Appreciating your time and empathic sense of listening to my case as I know you hate injustice. God Almighty be with you and family. Once again, I am grateful for your timely intervention.
Yours faithfully,
•Miss John Blessing Ehigocho
