Obtaining Transcripts Made Easy in Nigeria

Over the years, obtaining transcripts from Universities and other Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria has come to be considered as an uphill task by Nigerian students/Alumni. This can be attributed to the rigors and bottlenecks that have come to be attached to a process which normally should to be done with ease and without so much as breaking a sweat. This is however no longer the case as a new service Company is now in place in Nigeria to make the Transcript ordering and delivery process a lot easier, faster and cheaper for Nigerian Students and Alumni.

The service company which is known as ETX-NG (Electronic Transcript Exchange and Degree Verification System for Nigeria), enables Nigerian student/alumni place an order for their transcript without stepping a foot in their school. This can be done irrespective of where the students/alumni are or where the school is located, by filling out a transcript order form online on the ETX-NG website.

For first time applicants, it takes 14 working days to obtain the ordered transcript as well as delivering it to the required institution irrespective of where the institution is located on the globe. This is an improvement to the current practice, where transcripts take a longer time to get to the receiving institutions on demand.

In addition, using this system, ETX-NG aims to keep universities in Nigeria at par with leading international schools in the process of transcript ordering, processing and delivery. 

Asides providing a solution to students and alumni, ETX-NG also helps to simplify the process of verifying degrees and certificates for employers in Nigeria. Due to the fact that degree and certificate fraud is a serious and costly problem in Nigeria, it is now a necessity to verify degrees and certificates tendered by employees.

However, corporate firms, organizations and companies face the almost the same hitches and hurdles that students and alumni face in the process of obtaining their transcripts. It is important to note that ETX-NG has received the endorsement the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), which has encouraged all Nigerian universities and Polytechnics as well as other higher institutions of learning in the country to hook up to this new service of transcript exchange and degree verification system.
