Hello Admin, I registered with balogun-arogunjo and now that we have been moved to Batch B,from Batch A, stream II, the name has changed to Balogunarogunjo(with the hyphen being removed).
Please Note: it is a compound name.
Is it going to be a problem?
If yes, what do I do now?
Is it right to do corrections of Name?
