Nigeria’s New Education Repository & Databank (NERD) Policy: How to Onboard Final-Year Projects

The Nigerian Federal Government has mandated the submission of final-year project reports through the NERD portal, a crucial step for NYSC mobilisation. This policy aims to verify academic authenticity and elevate the quality of academic outputs nationwide. The NERD spokesperson, Haula Galadima, highlighted that each project must include student, supervisor, co-supervisor, HOD details, sponsoring institution, and department information for verification purposes. The deadline for submission is October 6th, with no exceptions for serving corps members or those already mobilized before the enforcement date.
