The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has directed candidates in the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) to check their results through its portal as the USSD code 55019 has some challenges.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, Head, Protocol and Public Affairs of JAMB, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
EduCeleb.com earlier reported that the board had on June 25 directed candidates to check their results by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 through the GSM number used to obtain profile code.
But Benjamin is now saying that candidates should check their results from anywhere there is internet access as checking by USSD code 55019 was suspended.
“It has come to the attention of the Board that the result checking on USSD code 55019 is saddled with some challenges.
“Consequently, the Board hereby directs all candidates to visit JAMB portal to check for their 2021 UTME result.
“Each candidate is to follow this simple steps: Visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng, on the menu bar, click on efacility, on the page that shows up, click on UTME 2021 Main Results Notification Slip.
“Enter your registration number and click the button Check My Result,” he said.
