The online verification process is designed to reduce the difficulties often associated with confirming academic qualifications and provide a faster way of establishing whether a certificate was genuinely issued by an educational institution.
Applicants seeking to verify their certificates are required to provide relevant details about their academic qualification. Depending on the institution and verification platform, this may include the certificate holder’s personal information, institution attended, programme of study, graduation details and certificate information.

Visit the ESSVerify portal at https://essverify.education.gov.ng/
