JAMB permits one-time contact-detail changes for candidates who lost access

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has introduced a one-time facility for candidates who can no longer use the telephone number or email address linked to their records. The update must be completed at designated computer-based test centres, according to information published by Punch Nigeria.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has opened a one-time service for candidates who have lost access to the SIM card or email address registered with the board. According to Punch Nigeria, the facility allows affected candidates to update their contact details. The process is available at designated computer-based test centres.
The arrangement is intended for candidates who can no longer access either of the contact channels attached to their JAMB records. The available information does not specify the documents candidates must present, the centres involved or the deadline for using the service. JAMB’s decision provides a route for candidates facing access problems to amend their details through an authorised centre rather than remaining tied to an unavailable SIM or email account.
Punch Nigeria reported the development in an article announcing the opening of the service. Candidates who believe they are eligible will need to use the designated CBT-centre process, with further operational details to be obtained from the board or the relevant centres.
