The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the temporary shutdown of its portal for the upload of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, citing technical issues that require urgent resolution.
In a statement, the examination body explained that the decision was taken to allow its technical team to address the glitches affecting result submissions. JAMB assured candidates that the downtime is a precautionary measure to ensure the integrity and accuracy of data processing before the portal is reopened.
The portal shutdown affects candidates who sat for the 2025 WASSCE and are in the process of completing their admission requirements for tertiary institutions across Nigeria. The uploading of O’Level results is a mandatory step for candidates seeking admission through JAMB’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
While JAMB did not provide a specific timeline for the completion of the maintenance work, it urged candidates to remain patient and avoid panic, assuring them that the service will be restored as soon as the technical challenges are resolved.
This development comes during a critical period in the admissions cycle, as universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education prepare to finalize their admission lists. Education stakeholders are hopeful that the disruption will be short-lived to avoid delays in the process.
JAMB reiterated its commitment to maintaining a reliable and transparent admissions platform, noting that safeguarding the accuracy of candidates’ academic records remains a top priority.
