Mistakes are inevitable and as such , in one time or
the other we have encountered the problems of
misspelt names in our certificates , such as your
Jamb , Waec , Gce , Neco, and your tertiary education
certificates . Few days ago, i received a call from a
very disturbed student . He was asking me of possible
ways i could provide him with a solution to an error in
his Jamb result . His name was misspelt and this is
possible of denying him admission into any of the
Universities.

After all said and done , he demanded for help, if i
could proffer any advise as to how he was going to
correct the spelling on Jamb and to make it reflect
on his certificate . Within me i was like ” Ain ’ t sure if
this is going to be that possible even if it will . ”

Though we could not change the name , the simple
solution we took handled the whole saga perfectly .
Have you found yourself in such a mess? then let me
reveal how i was able to solve this problem.
How To Correct Misspelt Names On Any Certificate
Now you might have heard of the word “affidavit”
right ? Yes you should. That is the only way to go. I
advised him to go to any of the court closest to him
for details of the procedure
So if you found yourself in such situation, go to any
court of law nearby (Perhaps a magistrate court and
swear an affidavit) . Explain your problems to them.
Tell them you seek for an affidavit.

Afterward you will take the affidavit material to your
screening centre, where new and admitted students
are screened / registered before commencement of
lectures or any place that your certificate is
demanded. It won’ t change the mistake in the JAMB
or any other certificate ; But it will notify any authority
that needs it stating to the authority ( school
registrar ) that the mistake in JAMB( Or any other
certificate ) name was a mistake and trust
me, affidavits are accepted . They won’ t change the
mistake , but it will be proof that the name was a
mistake and the correct one is the one you have .
