The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended all services requiring physical contact at its offices and accredited CBT centres nationwide for an initial period of two weeks to curb the spread of COVID-19. In addition, all services requiring thumbprint/biometric verification have been suspended indefinitely.

JAMB Suspends All Services Requiring Physical Contact Nationwide

Use JAMB's Online Support and e-Facility Portals Instead

In a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday by JAMB's Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board assured candidates that the situation will be reviewed regularly and suspended in-person services will resume as soon as public health conditions permit.

In the meantime, candidates and members of the public should use the following online channels from home:

  • Enquiries and Complaints: Use the upgraded online ticketing platform at support.jamb.gov.ng.
  • Self-Service Portal: Access online services through the official JAMB website at www.jamb.org.ng and your personal e-Facility candidate profile.

Does this mean I cannot go to a CBT centre to upload my WAEC result right now?

Yes, Zynar. Please stay safe at home for now. Universities have not started 2020/2021 admission screening yet, so you will have plenty of time to upload your O'Level result once CBT centres reopen.
