    I wrote jamb with the intentions of doing nursing but I didn’t meet the cut off so I was offered Agricultural Economics and Extension which I accepted.i was asked to do changes which I did,and I was told to wait for 3-4 working days to be admitted but currently it’s almost two weeks but no positive response.Just wondering how should i go about it.
