The Federal Ministry of Education Nigeria has
announced a new digital system for the authentication and evaluation of
academic credentials, eliminating the need for physical visits.
The update was disclosed in a statement signed by the
ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.
According to the ministry, all applications for
credential verification will now be processed exclusively through its official
online portal, marking a significant step in line with the federal government’s
digital transformation agenda.
Applicants are required to register and upload all
necessary documents via the designated platform, ensuring a streamlined and
transparent process.
The ministry explained that the transition to a fully
digital system is aimed at improving efficiency, reducing processing time,
enhancing data integrity, and supporting evidence-based decision-making within
the education sector.
It also confirmed that in-person submissions are no
longer required, as the process has been completely automated.
In addition, applicants must request their academic
institutions to send official transcripts directly from institutional email
addresses to the ministry’s verification channel to complete the process.
The ministry urged all applicants to follow the
updated guidelines carefully to ensure smooth and timely processing of their
requests, noting that the new system is expected to strengthen the credibility
of academic credential verification in Nigeria.
