The Management of the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD) hereby issues this important advisory to all students and intending Corps members regarding the approved procedure for NERD enrolment and related services.
You are strongly advised not to physically visit any cyber café or centre for NERD-related processes. All NERD services are designed to be conducted virtually and remotely (phone, email, WhatsApp, etc), without the need for physical presence at any location.
As part of its mandate to create jobs. NERD has engaged Nigerian entrepreneurs to put in place over 1,200 Digital Service Centres (DSC) across the nation. Each DSC has about 3 Enrolment Centre Operators (ECO). Students must engage only accredited NERD DSCs or Enrolment Centre Operators (ECOs) whose verified contact details (phone number, email address, and location) are officially published on the NERD lookup portal: https://esmat.ned.gov.ng/ai/lookup_nerd digital service centre eco.php.
Please note:
- Distance is not a barrier.
- An accredited DSC or ECO can validly process your registration irrespective of your geographical location.
- Always confirm the accreditation status of any Centre or Operator via the official lookup portal before engaging their services. If you cannot find their names, contact details, and phone numbers on the NERD portal, do not engage them.
- The maximum approved charge that any accredited DSC can collect for their service (data entry for enrolment + upload) is N2,500. See https://esmat.ned.gov.ng/ai/nerd approved pricing dsc-ecos.php. Report any DSC or ECO demanding more than the approved charge to support@ned.gov.ng (send the name and contact of that DSC or ECO to NERD).
