Yea, it's easy. Funny enough, my friend works in Federal Ministry of Education and just finished an M.Ed programme. They told him to request the school to verify his result. He had to go to the school, paid 15k and it still took about 2 months. Hahaha
y can't they use nysc eh.. What's now the purpose of nysc certificate.

Email the school through the office of the Registrar.

I have been verifying our employees certificates during recruitment using this method for years now.

Most times, it takes ages for the school to respond, just get the school phone number and out it on auto redial.


They'll definitely attend to your enquiry.


That is one big issue with most schools in Nigeria, send them mail, it will take them ages to reply you some with not even reply self

My brother. I am a traditional man.

I also know the loopholes in all these systems. I'd rather stick with registrar's confirmation than the online verification.

Nigerians are smart asses!
Even in abroad, that's how they'll confirm your waec result before giving you admission. How many calls would Registrar receive in a day if all schools, companies etc decided to call at the same time

Greetings EduLanders!!!!
Please I need a guidance on how I can verify whether any Nigerian university certificate is genuine or not online without asking for official transcripts from university authority. Thanks in advance



I think the best way to verify if any Nigerian u iversity certificate is genuine or not is to write to vice chancellor of the university requesting for authentification of the attached copy of the university certificate.
For example if an individual has a unilag BSc in biology certificate and the person applies for a masters of science in biology at unijos and the individual is successfully admitted by Unijos, Unijos would write to unilag to verify the authenticity of the attached result and unilag would reply by stating that the certificate of the individual is either original or fake.

Another example is if an individual applies for a job at ministry of health with bachelor of science in microbiology certificate from unilag and the individual is employed by ministry of health, ministry of health would write to unilag to verify if the certifate of the individual is either genuine or fake


Also you can verify if a waec or neco certificate is genuine or not online by buying the waec or neco verification scratch card and following the instructions on them

Nigerian Universities have poor rating tongue
Tier 1 (OAU, UNILAG, UI & FUTA)
All others are Tier 2. Tier 2 certificates needs Msc to be nominated for level one occupation with the exception of those that did 5 years courses .
This is how Australia rates Nigeria Degree undecided
I am just laughing! Only schools in South West are Tier 1 or tear rubber.

You think say Registrar of a Nigerian University will reply to such enquiry? All he/she is after is month salary.
A foreign University Registrar will quickly reply to such an inquiry.

Even some Nigerian banks, if you are abroad and lose your Internet banking facility, that is the end of your banking business with the Nigerian Bank. Their telephone numbers hardly go. Their email does not accept replies.

Office of the Registrar. Not the registrar himself.

There's no Nigerian bank that you cannot reach via email or telephony services from the diaspora.

Try to rectify a fault in your banking system with a Nigerian bank while you are on a journey abroad.

Graduation lists are always published yearly on the university website.

But the certificate could be genuine and held by an impersonator that's why the best way is to contact the university for detailed verification that would come with a photograph.

You can even do it online. For instance, lautech uses https://lautech.edu.ng/verify/app

The verification code is on the certificate and you can verify the genuineness and classes of the degree
For laurech, I can still login into my student portal on the school website till today. GRADUATED is boldly written there.

Bro, just apply for Australia. Come back and drag me. Follow the thread, you are the second person to challenge me and it's because you don't know.
Make I burst your head, 4 year course is considered an Associate degree and not bachelors.

SIWES will only show the person the person studied up to 400L but not guarantee the person graduated.

At least it guarantees the person has done 95% of the work.

I feel he obtained the certificate in a dubious way. How did he get it at first? 😄
DIVINEEVIDENCE:
You can't tell if a cert is genuine or not by just looking at it.

You have to contact the school if you're serious.

Transcripts are not for fancy, they're made for issues as this.

Installed Fake Degree Documents Versus Other Fake Degree Documents
First to mention, since the days of “Oluwole” (the headquarters of fake and forged documents, stamps, and signatures in Nigeria), I have known there are different kinds of fake documents; there are some you would do and always have to watch your back when you use them, there are some that are almost real but you cannot use them at certain places, and there are some that are as real as the original document and can be used anywhere at any time without having to watch your back. When we talk about these fake degree documents, the major factors determining where your fake documents fall are different from what you may think they are. In fact, to better understand the factors determining the usability of your fake degree documents, I have divided them into three main categories:
Uninstalled Fake Degree Documents: These documents are produced exactly like it’s the school that produced them; in fact, it’s probably produced using the school’s materials, so they look exactly how the ones produced by the school would look. You can use these documents almost anywhere locally, so long they don’t ask the school for verification or request for official transcripts. You cannot evaluate these documents; you cannot use them for international engagements like jobs and admissions that would involve traveling abroad. The chances of discovering the fakeness are really low—so long you know where you are using them is where they don’t spend time trying to ensure genuineness of documents.
