Kindly Note: According to the JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, all candidates who want to register for the examination must ensure that no other person had used that telephone number for that purpose. “No two persons must use a single GSM number in commencing the registration process as it will not be acceptable. “The system is configured in such a way that one individual is to one telephone number that will remain exclusive to that single individual for the purpose of the entire examination process.
