Do we have to write another JAMB to get admitted?

Many people probably think that JAMB results only have a validity of ‘one year’. But what if we view it as ‘one admission session’? If you put it that way, the question of whether or not your 2020 JAMB result is still valid is easier to answer.

There hasn’t been admission since the 2019/2020 academic session. It wouldn’t be fair to just cancel the session when it isn’t the poor aspirants’ fault right?

Plus, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board haven’t officially made a statement implying the cancellation or expiration of 2020 JAMB results. In view of this, aspirants can remain hopeful.
