THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the addition of a new registration code, 66019, to its current 55019 code, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The board made the announcement in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar, which the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) received on Monday in Abuja.
JAMB stated that the 66019 code was added as an optional USSD code to its 55019 code, which has been in use since 2018 for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and other services.
"This is to ensure that there is no difficulty whatsoever in the creation of profiles for the 2022 UTME/Direct Entry (DE) exercise."
“This is to facilitate a hitch free 2022 UTME/ Direct Entry (DE) exercise, by ensuring that there is no difficulty whatsoever in the creation of profiles by candidates.
“In essence, both codes are to be used to create profile for the registration by candidates sitting for the 2022/23 examination.
“Candidates are expected to send their National Identification Number (NIN), via either of the codes for their details to be pulled out from the NIMC database before they proceed to any accredited centre for biometric capturing, ” JAMB said.
The board further explained that the effort was earlier planned to eliminate all bottlenecks associated with the creation of profiles.
Similarly, JAMB said that it had also introduced the use of a Whatsapp platform as an additional support and complaint platform for clients.
The board said that the platform was also part of measures to effectively attend to diverse needs of candidates and its other clients alike.
“With the platform, candidates and other stakeholders would have the benefit of instant messaging and solutions to whatever query they might have regarding any of the operations of the board.
“The platform is not meant to replace, but complement the existing ticketing system, thereby expanding access to critical services among others,” JAMB said.
NAN, however, reports that the Whatsapp number was yet to be released by the board.
