NERD Clarifies Clearance Process, Warns Students Against False Information
The Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD) has officially addressed growing concerns surrounding its clearance verification process, urging students to disregard misleading information currently circulating.
According to reports gathered by Swift School News, the agency clarified that students are not required to return to their institutions for the purpose of verifying or stamping their NERD clearance slips. It described such claims as false and not part of its approved procedures.
How NERD Clearance Verification Works
NERD explained that the official method for verifying clearance is entirely digital. Students are expected to:
- Scan the barcode on their NERD clearance slip
- Review the displayed information after scanning
- Confirm that all details are accurate
If the information matches the student’s records, the clearance is considered valid.
What to Do If There Is an Issue
- Students who encounter any of the following issues are advised to take immediate action:
- Incorrect personal details displayed after scanning
- Barcode failing to scan properly
- Missing or incomplete information
In such cases, students should contact NERD support directly for proper resolution.
Warning Against False Directives
NERD strongly emphasized that no student is required to visit their institution physically for clearance verification. Any directive suggesting otherwise should be ignored, as it does not reflect the agency’s official process.
Stick to Verified Information
Students are encouraged to rely only on official communication channels for accurate updates and instructions regarding their clearance process.
Swift School News advises all students to remain vigilant, avoid panic, and always verify information before taking action.
