The Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) has issued an important notice to all graduating students and prospective corps members (PCMs) regarding the newly introduced Nigeria Education Reposition and Databank (NERD) clearance policy.
In compliance with the directive of the Federal Executive Council and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) circular dated October 7, 2025, the University announced that only students who have obtained the NERD Clearance will be eligible for NYSC mobilization beginning with the 2025 Batch ‘C’ exercise.
The information was contained in a circular released by the Office of the Registrar on October 15, 2025, and signed by Abdulhamid Muhammed Bima, Student Affairs Officer, for the Registrar. The notice advised all concerned students to visit the NERD registration portals at https://ned.gov.ng/onboarding or https://estmat.ned.gov.ng/ai/enrot-v2.php to upload their institutional clearance letter, which can be collected from the NYSC Desk Office.
To complete the process, students are expected to use an active email address and upload their thesis or project work, passport photograph, statement of result, and National Identification Number (NIN) slip. After successful verification, each applicant is required to present the NERD clearance slip during NYSC registration at the orientation camp.
The University urged all eligible graduating students to treat the directive as urgent and ensure full compliance without delay.
