Show proof of it because the site was not working. LGA can’t upload, Certificate can’t upload. I tried so many browsers and different cafe. Used different people’s phone because I want the job. I’m looking for job but the site was not working. I need a job.
Had same issue but then because I was so determined I woke up 12midnight to try it for two days and got it done the second midnight
The site was flooded, so the usual timing wouldn’t have been feasible, which is why I opted for a midnight trial, which turned out successful.
I can already see myself as a custom officer!
Amen
Amen
I pray that I will be accepted
