Here’s what to do:
Try These Quick Fixes:
1. Switch Browsers: Chrome or Firefox works best. Avoid Opera Mini.
2. Use Incognito Mode: Sometimes browser cache messes up the page loading.
3. Clear Browser Cache: Go to your settings and clear browsing data.

Payment Problems on the Portal, How to Fix Them
You’ve paid the ₦2,000… but the portal is acting blind like it didn’t see anything? Don’t worry, this is one of the most common issues.
Here’s How to Handle It:
1. Payment Status Not Reflecting?
Wait at least 30 minutes. Sometimes it takes a while to sync.
Still no update? Go to the “Requery Payment” option on the portal.

2. Paid Through Bank but Portal Shows “Pending”?
Return to the bank and ask for the Remita printout showing successful payment.
Scan and email it to ict.unn.edu.ng@gmail.com with your JAMB number and full name.
You’ll get a response, usually within 24–48 hours.
3. Technical Shortcut (If You’re Stuck):
Visit remita.net

Enter your RRR and email address
Use that receipt to prove your payment to UNN support if necessary.
