For most corporate and post graduate institutions, staff and prospective students’ degrees and certificate verifications is a constant and arduous cycle for which all involved parties must set aside time and financial resources to meet.

However, the recent liberties provided by the advent of internet technology have paved ways to ease this process and Obafemi Awolowo University is proving to be an early adopter in this matter.

As part of the university's ongoing efforts to smoothen the continuing education and other post-university needs and requests of its students, both present and former; and all other stakeholders who interact with the university, the institution has partnered with ETX-NG to handle all its transcript, degrees and credentials verification.

Speaking to stakeholders during an enlightenment session on the benefits derivable from the process, the Managing Director of ETX-NG, Hillary Obomighie stated that the new system would make responding to verification request much easier and faster for staff of the Universities registry due to enhanced automation.

Also, requests from third party institutions such as WES (World Education Services) which is an International Credentials Evaluation Company can now be handled and turned around with little or no effort.

Although, it might suffice to say that while correctly regarded an early adopter of this method on a corporate level, OAU is employing a system that is already gaining momentum amongst individuals and other institutions for its ease of online transcript request, payment and delivery, and also credentials verifications, all with guaranteed security.

In his speech, Obomighie said his firm is glad to partner with OAU to relieve thousands of people and institutions the burden of physically travelling and visiting schools for transcript request and credentials verification.

“In these critical times, everyone should be able to save some money and time, which is why the usual www.etx-ng.com has gotten its own OAU extension: www.etx-ng.com/oau-verifications for all stakeholders of the institution”, Obomighie added to a cheering audience.

ETX-NG is an electronic transcript exchange and degree verification system, which allows free participation of all tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It is noted that this service is open to other universities, polytechnics and professional certification bodies in Nigeria who wish to participate.

OAU’s Transcripts Problems: What the Alumni Body Should Do
One of the biggest problems alumni of any school in Nigeria currently face is trying to get their transcripts from their school they graduated from. If you are a graduate and you have not had to lose an advance admission, an opportunity to travel abroad or a delayed promotion at work because your employer is waiting for you to provide your transcripts, it most probably means you’ve not started using your education at the places where you should be using it. Because if you have, you would have been asked to provide your transcripts at some point, and your school would have shown you how problematic they are when it comes to issuing transcripts to people. And with all these I have said about the problems you would encounter to get your transcripts, I have not even slimmed it down to the levels of OAU, and trust me on this, when it comes to OAU, every normal problem becomes even stronger. Since OAU handed the transcripts processes to the private digital company called ETX, instead of the processes getting better and easier, it gets even worse day after day. Go on any social media platform and read about how OAU alumni lament about their sufferings on getting their transcripts, you wouldn’t believe OAU—one of the earliest universities in Nigeria, with the title “leading in ICT” attached to her name—would still be having such problems in this century where everything is swift, easier, and you don’t have to be present to make all these happen.

Verification of Results and Certified True Copy of Certificate: What’s the Difference, Their Uses, and How Do they Get Processed in OAU and UI?
Let me make this clear in one sentence that verification of results is not the same as certified true copy of certificate, and they do not do the same thing when it comes to seeking employment, admission or scholarship; while verification of results means that an institution has sent your academic transcripts to your school you got the qualification from, asking your school to verify that your transcripts were indeed sent by them, and that your results in the transcripts are correct, a certified true copy of your certificate would mean that an institution or a body is asking your school to confirm the genuineness of your certificate. Using the standard and modus operandi of OAU and UI, Verification of results is initiated by your requesting institution by sending a request for verification to your school, you pay some money to your school, do some leg works (or have someone do these for you), and your school replies to the request by verifying that your transcripts are genuine and the results in them are correct. Using the standard and modus operandi of OAU and UI, a certified true copy of your certificate is produced by your school’s Exams and Records stamping and signing a coloured copy of your certificate and sending it to the requesting body; this would mean to the requesting body that your school has confirmed to them that your certificate is genuine.

Certificate Collection in OAU and UI Made Easy for People Far Away
The fact that OAU and UI don’t have their certificates ready for their graduands until after one or two years they graduated births the possibility that most alumni would not be around at all to collect their certificates when they are ready for collection; unless the alumna has no progress in their life for the one or two years; no one expects a person to graduate and not have gotten busy with life or gone far away after one or two years. The chances of not having the chance to go collect their certificates from their schools or being far away from the school get even higher when it comes to people who did postgraduate programmes like MBA, M.Sc./M.A., PhD.; these are mature people who will definitely not be able to make it down to their school to collect their certificates, this poses a problem for a lot of people needing their certificates.
