The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Wednesday advise candidates to check their results via their mobile numbers due to the shut down of their portal.
Speaking in an interview, the Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said it had shut down its portal following attempt of fraudsters.
He said, 'Results of the 469,000 candidates who wrote on Monday have been released and candidates are to check their results by typing ‘RESULT’ and sending to 55019 with their unique telephone numbers for their scores.
'They should not check their results on the internet as the portal had been shut, following attempt by some fraudsters to alter results of candidates.
'Let me simply clarify here that JAMB does not post candidates just anywhere.
'It is the candidates that chose their examination towns and once centres in that examination towns are filled, they are withdrawn from the net and candidates are then sent to other centres closest to such examination towns.
'It is not a deliberate act on our side,” he said.
