  13. he corrected it manually with a pen, and told my level coordinator to provide a statement of result with my CGPA….. but is application site closed?

    • Last year, it was written in the Federal Unity School in Your locality, it doesn’t mean that everyone in Lagos should go to Ikeja, If there’s one in Oshodi, and you live there, go there.

    • Although, the interview centers have not been re-published, there would be an interview centre for a state and it is usually a Federal Government College / Unity school

    • Lecturers and Heads of Department still go to school even when students are on holiday. He might be in school. Try calling him or better still, if your school’s result is usually posted online, try and download your result for the site.
