Bauchi State Ministry of Education has directed students of tertiary institutions that applied for scholarship to upload their matriculation to enable the ministry to process their payment.
The Ministry has discovered that the matriculation number of students was not collected in the application they made in the portal a few weeks ago, saying that without the matriculation number, it will be difficult for institutions to separate the genuine from fake students.
A statement by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Dr Suleiman Madara said that the old method of physical verification will not take place, adding that the Ministry will verify students’ records online through their institutions.
He said that no payment will be made to any student that has not provided his/her matriculation number on the form.
