He urged all registered applicants to log into the board’s portal, https://examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng, using their unique username and password to print out their examination slips and verify their sitting arrangements ahead of the test.

“Candidates are expected to go to the examination venue with the exam slip (printout) and ensure that they arrive at the venue as early as possible,” he said.
