i have my Bsc and WAEC intact the problem is most government jobs demands for the FSLC. I am still an applicant thats why i am concerned.


PLS THIS ISN'T TRUE AT ALL. NONE SHOULD FRIGHTEN U. COMPANIES OR OFFICES CAN ONLY DEMAND THIS TO TRIM DOWN APPLICANTS. BUT IN REALITY, ITS NO LONGER DEMANDED FOR EMPLOYMENT. PLS. ONLY D MISCHIEVOUS DO.

First school leaving certificate is like Junior WAEC, both are useless. They give all the applicants same grade(C parallel). I think you would want to hold on to it if that was the highest level of education you attained. I'm not sure if it's needed when applying for a job 'cause most employers demands for WAEC and Bsc.

I lost mine too, but not bothered.
You will be bothered very soon.

Simple go to the State ministry of Education, there is provision for that. Know the name of the school you wrote it and d year. Expect to pay certain amount of money for the new one. Such is easily obtainable in Anambra state, My friend did it 2 months ago

Please is this applicable to people that attended private primary schools too?

This is just about the same problem I have, the only difference begin that I didn't write the FSLC exams. This was because I sat for an entrance exams in the first term of primary 5 and secured admission to a secondary school. However, I returned to the school for my testimonial (they say it's equivalent to FSLC - someone should please confirm) so I could use it in place of the FSLC I was given something which contained information on when I started and when I left the primary school in question. I just hope it will be useful. If you do have a testimonial then it could be useful as well. [/quote]

MY DEAR BROTHER, THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN FLSC & TESTIMONIAL BECAUSE GOVERNMENT ISSUES FLSC WHILE TESTIMONIAL IS GIVEN BY INDIVIDUALS' SCHOOLS. YOU CAN ONLY GO TO YOUR PRIMARY SCHOOL TO OBTAIN LETTER OF INTRODUCTION THROUGH THE LOCAL EDUCATION AUTHORITY TO THE STATE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION OR SUPEB WITH A LETTER GIVING TO YOU FROM YOUR PRIMARY SCHOOL.

I lost mine, did a court affidavit/police report. just go to a law court and swear an affidavit, they will help you obtain the police report.

If you can remember the school you took the exam at, that is, your exam centre, you can try going there. That's what I did when the so called private school wasn't able to produce my result.

Good morning Nlanders, i lost my first school leaving certificate and i dont have a copy. A friend advised me to seat for the exams but i dont know if it will be acceptable due to the time difference with respect to my other academic credentials. For now i am really confused as to what to do since without a FSLC you cannot get a government or certain private jobs. Please i need the experts to advice on the best legal way to go about this. Thank you.





Go to your primary school, they should have the copy.

just go to the ministry of education in that particular state you sat 4 the exam. e.g Delta state ministry of education.

You won't even spend up to an hour there, you are good to go.


plz will they issue me a new one or are they going to make any verification to know if my claims are true. i want to know cos I want to change the year I sat for my fslc to correspond with the current years am using right now

Guess you have never applied for a government job before.
@OP, go to the school where you sat for the exam and see the H/M, he or she can help you apply for another copy from the state ministry of education.
Alternatively you can do it yourself by and apply directly to the ministry. But na enough stress and waka waka dey am.
My advice, take the first option.

Your Testimonial is just to show you finished from that school. it's not equivalent to your FSLC. It's better you go and sit for another exam. Unless you have no intention of ever applying or working for a government job.
Well, I sat for the exams recently. It was the only option I had. I'm not good at lying or forgery. Not quite sure if the certificate will be recognised or not. Hope someone can clear my doubt about this.

it will be recognized. If you ever need to present your FSLC and they are in doubt about the date, then you explain yourself it's very simple.

It is very easy. Go to the primary school u wrote the exams.U may need an affidavit although they maybe lenient with u and waive it and an id card. They will give u a list that contains all the names of people including u who sat for the exams that year.U will make photocopies of the page where ur name appeared.The headmaster/mistress will sign on it (not compulsory).The copies will become ur new primary school certificate. U will spend some cash though as ur contribution to the school. 2k will solve all the problems but note that they will never issue u new one.

This is exactly what my case is now. I sent someone to the school and he was giving a copy of the list. I have actually not collected the original before. Is there a way I can get the original certificate, please?

yes you can get the original copy as long as yours is not among those years they didn't produce cerficates for, there are some years like that and maybe a wacko govt was in power then because I see no reason why some years will have certificates while others won't have.
