The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) introduces a new process that lets candidates update phone numbers or email addresses linked to their JAMB profiles, including cases where they no longer have access to the original details.

The Vanguard and Punch both outline that the change is made through the JAMB portal and is intended to help candidates whose registered contact information is unavailable or incorrect. The Punch notes that the steps include obtaining a court affidavit as part of the required documentation. Vanguard focuses more generally on the availability of the procedure and the ability to update missing or inaccessible contact information.

Overall, both outlets agree that JAMB’s update process is the official route for candidates to correct phone number and email information on their portal profiles, but they differ slightly in emphasis, with one providing more detail on document requirements.
