The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the full automation of academic certificate evaluation and authentication, eliminating the need for applicants to visit the ministry physically.

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, disclosed this in a statement issued by the ministry's Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.

Alausa said the initiative represents a major step in the Federal Government's digital transformation agenda and aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.

Under the new system, applicants can complete the entire credential evaluation and authentication process online through the ministry's dedicated platform.

The minister said the initiative will strengthen the integrity and credibility of Nigeria's academic certification system.

He added that institutions, employers and other stakeholders will be able to verify academic qualifications through a more structured and reliable process.
