Nigerian businessman, Gaius Chibueze, also known as Bitcoin Chief, has offered Mmesoma Ejikeme a full scholarship up to the level of a Master’s degree.
Mmesoma Ejikeme had initially claimed to score 362, the highest in the 2023 UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination).
This achievement garnered praise and admiration from Nigerians, including a generous 3 million Naira scholarship offer from Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the founder of Innoson Vehicle Motors.
However, the situation took a drastic turn when the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) issued a disclaimer, distancing itself from Miss Mmesoma’s purported result.

He revealed that his company would cover the expenses of Mmesoma’s education, ensuring her journey up to the attainment of a Master’s degree.
