JAMB: New USSD Code For 2022 UTME introduced

KEZITO ⚜️

 

This is to inform the general public that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the adoption of a new USSD code. This was announced in its weekly bulletin released on Monday by its Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

USSD CODE

The board announced the adoption of ‘66019’ as an additional and optional USSD code besides the ‘55019’ code that had been in operation since 2018, for UTME/DE registration and other essential services.

It explained that the initiative was to facilitate a hitch-free 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise by ensuring that was no difficulty whatsoever in the creation of profiles by candidates, especially in a situation whereby many of them would send requests via one USSD code.

According to JAMB, prospective candidates for the 2022/23 UTME/DE are to use both codes to create their profiles for registration.

“As usual, candidates are required to send their National Identification Number (NIN) via either of these USSD codes for their details to be pulled from the NIMC database before they proceed to any accredited centre for biometric capturing".

The board had hinted that it was perfecting arrangements aimed at adopting an additional USSD code, in its efforts to eliminate all bottlenecks associated with the creation of profiles.
