The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the suspension of the use of USSD code to check the just-released results of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This is as a result of the current challenges being experienced with the use of the USSD code by the candidates.
This was made known by JAMB in a statement issued by the Spokesman of the Board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Saturday, June 26, 2021.
Benjamin in the statement said that candidates are now expected to visit JAMB’s website to access the results.

In case you missed it
Nairametrics had earlier reported the 4 simple steps the candidates can use in checking their 2021 UTME JAMB result online without the use of the scratch card and the printing of the result slip.
The steps are;
- Visit the JAMB result checking portal at https://portal.jamb.gov.ng/eFacility_/CheckUTMEResults.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number/Email Address in the required column.
- Click on ‘Check My Results’.
- The portal will load your result if it is ready.
It also reported on how to check the 2021 JAMB result via SMS. It asked all the candidates to send UTMERESULT, via SMS, to 55019 with the same number that was used to register for the exam (You need to have a credit balance of at least N50 on your line). The result will be replied to as an SMS immediately.
However, the examination body suspended the use of the 55019 code due to the associated challenges.
Honestly, I feel JAMB should be looking to solve the problem as soon as possible rather than just suspending up and down.
We do need a breathe of fresh air in our educational system.
