The article discusses a new policy from Nigeria's Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) that simplifies the process for students applying to universities. Candidates will now only need to pay a one-time fee of 4,000 Naira to verify their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) or O’Level results. Previously, students had to pay multiple times for different institutions to verify their results, which was costly and inconvenient. With this new arrangement, once a student pays the fee through a specific JAMB platform, their verified results will be sent to the university they are applying to, eliminating the need for repeated verifications. The policy aims to ease the financial burden on students and streamline the admission process. Students can complete the verification online from anywhere with internet access, making it more convenient. JAMB and WAEC emphasize that universities cannot ask for additional payments for verifying the same results again, ensuring that the process is fair and straightforward for all candidates.
