Students can be very funny at times, you sent your NIN (in the correct format) to 55019 but yet no response, instead of giving it a break for a while, you keep sending the text repeatedly, that is not the best ways to go about it.
What you should do instead is wait for a while, give a break of 2 to 3 hours then try again
Why should I wait for that long when I need the Pin now? ?
The reason you did not receive JAMB profile code will be most likely because the server is congested, and the only way to receive JAMB profile code is to wait for the system to be decongested, a break of 2 to 3 hours should do the Job.
