The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has allayed the fears of prospective tertiary institution candidates over its new O’Level result verification system, assuring that those who previously uploaded their results will not be required to upload them again or obtain a fresh verification code.

The clarification followed concerns among candidates who had already uploaded their West African Examinations Council, WAEC, and other O’Level results either during the ongoing registration exercise, after the release of the latest WAEC results or in previous admission cycles under the former arrangement.

In a statement by its Acting Director, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Thursday, JAMB said all results uploaded through the previous process remained valid and would continue to be recognised on its admission platform.
