JAMB Orders Candidates To Re-Upload O’Level Results For 2025 Admission

Before the release of the final 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, candidates who submitted their O-Level results to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) were instructed to go to accredited centers and re-upload their results.

The announcement was made in an official bulletin that was made public on Monday through the Board’s official X handle.

To prevent confusion during the admissions process, the examination body stated that all previously uploaded results had been removed from its system.

Candidates who sat the UTME and were waiting for results are required to upload their O’Level results as soon as they are available, the Board mandates. Before the final results were made public, many people started uploading the WAEC 2025 SSCE. The Board removed all previous uploads to avoid confusion, and candidates are now required to re-upload their results, regardless of whether they differ from the previous ones that were posted.

The Board added that compliance would affect one’s ability to be admitted into the process.

Your 2025 SSCE result should be re-uploaded to the JAMB portal without delay, the statement added.

Candidates have reacted differently to the directive, many of whom had rushed to upload their results earlier in line with admissions requirements.

JAMB continued to support a question raised by an X user, identified as @Ndukaphilip43644, who requested information about results being uploaded before the verification process was implemented. “Thank you.”

Candidates are expected to revisit accredited JAMB centers nationwide on this new directive to re-upload their final WAEC results to ensure a smooth admission process.

Uncapped McMullan replaces Charles in NI squad

Pierce Charles has been sidelined for the opening 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Northern Ireland, and uncapped goalkeeper Stephen McMullan has been named in the squad.

After suffering a shoulder injury while on club duty earlier this month, Sheffield Wednesday stopper Charles is unable to play against Luxembourg and Germany.

McMullan, who is currently on loan at Waterford from Fleetwood Town, joins Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Luke Southwood in Michael O’Neill’s squad while Conor Hazard also is injured.

McMullan, a 20-year-old former Warrenpoint Town keeper, has been limited to Northern Ireland’s under-18, under-19, and under-21 levels.

Before moving to Fleetwood Town in 2022, McMullan began his senior career at Warrenpoint, an Irish Premiership club.

Before joining Waterford on loan for the 2025 League of Ireland season, he spent six months on loan at Caernarfon Town in Wales last year after struggling for game time.

This season, he has started every single one of their 28 league games.

On September 4 and 4, Northern Ireland travel to Luxembourg to begin their World Cup qualifying campaign, before hosting four-time world champions Germany in Cologne three days later (both 19:45 BST kick-offs). Both games are broadcast live on the BBC.

Northern Ireland squad

Goalkeepers: Bailey Peacock-Farrell (Blackpool, Birmingham City on loan), Luke Southwood (Bristol Rovers), and Stephen McMullan (Waterford, Fleetwood Town on loan)

Defenders: Eoin Toal (Bolton Wanderers), Terry Devlin (Portsmouth), Trai Hume and Daniel Ballard (both at Sunderland), Brodie Spencer (Oxford United), Conor Bradley (Liverpool), Ruairi McConville (Norwich City), and Conor Bradley (Oxford United).

The midfielders are: George Saville (Luton Town), Shea Charles (Southampton), Alistair McCann (Preston North End), Ethan Galbraith (Swansea City), Brad Lyons (Kilmarnock), Caolan Boyd-Munce (Wycombe Wanderers), Paul Smyth (Queens Park Rangers), Callum Marshall (West Ham United), and Jamie Donley (Stoke City, on loan from Tottenham Hots

Salford assure mayors they can finish the season

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Mayor of Salford Paul Dennett have been given assurances that the troubled Super League team will be able to complete the season by the owners of Red Devils of Salford.

Due to welfare concerns, the Red Devils’ game against Wakefield earlier this month was postponed due to the club’s availability of just two senior players.

Salford eventually agreed to face Leigh in their subsequent game, which they lost 38-6, while Wakefield won 48-0.

On Friday, Burnham met with Dennett and the club’s owners, who had previously said he was closely monitoring the situation at the club.

In a joint statement, it was stated that “we received assurances that completing the Super League season and safeguarding the club’s future were shared priorities.”

Additionally, according to the statement, they were informed of His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC)’s) upcoming winding-up petition, which was adjourned earlier this year and is scheduled to take place at the High Court on September 3.

Salford have had a turbulent 12 months despite a consortium led by Dario Berta taking over the company on the eve of the season.

The club’s situation has gotten worse in the last month, with a large player exodus, wage problems, and Claire Bradbury, their chief operating officer, quitting her position, alleging that the club’s ownership suggested she “sleep with someone at the Rugby Football League” to ease their situation.

Salford stated that the company would conduct an “approfondited internal investigation.”

The mayors’ statement continued, “The club owners also informed us that they’re in the process of arranging a bridging loan to help the club get through the season and make progress in clearing debts.”

We agreed to work together to hopefully ensure that the club continues to operate as a going concern in light of the bridging loan being pursued.

Wales’ Morgan sees off legend Inkster to win major by six shots

Final leaderboard for the US Senior Women’s Open

-7 B. Morgan (Wal), -1 J. Inkster (US), -1 E. Liselotte Neumann (Swe), + 1 Leta Lindley (US), Maria McBride (Swe), and Corina Kelepouris (Can).

Becky Morgan of Wales won the US Senior Women’s Open in California, taking home the biggest title of her career.

The legendary American Juli Inkster, the seven-time major champion, was six shots clear of the 50-year-old at San Diego Country Club in the final round of par.

Sweden’s Liselotte Neumann, a former US Women’s Open champion, placed third.

Morgan finished the day three-way in a three-way tie for the lead before making five birdies, two bogeys, and a number of crucial par-saving putts to capture the dominant victory.

Morgan described the USGA website, the organization that regulates the game in America and hosts the Senior Women’s Open, as “unbelievable.”

I told my caddie Beth, “I’m not looking at the scoreboard until I need to,” I replied.

What’s the score, Beth, when I was discussing my shot into 18?

She said, “You have a six-shot lead, so I said, “OK, we’re going for it.”

To be honest, I just stayed extremely calm all day, holed some really good putts, and can’t believe it.

The 2018 Hero Women’s Indian Open was Morgan’s only victory on the Ladies European Tour.

She put together five birdies, two bogeys, and a number of important par-saving putts to close the 70 on the final day at San Diego Country Club from a three-way tie for the lead.

The victory will help Morgan qualify for the 2026 US Women’s Open at Riviera Country Club, where she twice represented Great Britain and Ireland in a Curtis Cup match against the best American amateurs.

Morgan, who stopped playing on the LPGA Tour in 2018, said, “I would not have dreamt this.
