New system ends physical visits, aims to improve efficiency and transparency
The Federal Government has announced the full automation of the authentication and evaluation of academic credentials, effectively ending the need for physical visits for verification processes.
Officials say the new system is designed to streamline procedures, reduce delays, and enhance transparency in the verification of academic records for individuals seeking employment, further education, or international opportunities. The move is also expected to curb document fraud and improve the integrity of Nigeria’s credential evaluation system.
Under the automated framework, applicants will be able to submit and process their academic credentials digitally through designated platforms, eliminating the need to visit offices in person. Authorities noted that the system will integrate modern technology to ensure secure, fast, and reliable verification.
Education stakeholders have welcomed the development, describing it as a major step toward digital transformation in the sector. They note that the shift will ease the burden on applicants, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and align Nigeria’s processes with global best practices.
The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to improving service delivery across institutions, adding that the automation initiative is part of broader efforts to modernise public services and enhance efficiency in education related processes.
