I guess you are opening the application portal with a phone, open it with a PC and you'll see "Apply here" on the menu bar. You can apply from there.

Actually I opened it using my phone: I will try using PC. Thanks for observation though.

Please house,I have not been able to enter my O'level results. The result page is always blank each time I click "NEXT" and goes back to reconfirm through "BACK". I have re-entered it severally and it still remains blank. Please advise!

If you've entered your result details once, I guess it automatically saves it but does not show it when you return to the page. To confirm, check if you have a TICKED box towards the end of the page. It should read "uploaded" when you hover over it or click it.

Maybe any can help with this, I'm having issues uploading my Degree, NYSC, et al. I doubt if it's the file size. Anyone in same shoes?
Those that have gone past this stage, how did you upload your docs?

Thanks for the anticipated response....
