The manual verification and signing of clearance forms have led to long queues, lost documents, and delays.

Graduates have to submit their documents to various offices, including the faculty, clinic, library, students' affairs, bursary, and student union, for verification and signing. This process can take weeks or even months, causing undue stress and hardship for the students.

Many graduates have shared their ordeal, including Abduljalal Dahiru, who spent a month trying to complete the process, and Aliyu Imam Kabir, who traveled from Katsina to Sokoto only to find his documents unsigned. Female graduates, such as Hauwa Abubakar and Comfort Ogochukwu, have also faced similar challenges.

Students are calling for the digitalization of the verification and clearance process to ease their burden. Mahammad Saifullahi and Annabel Onoja suggested that an online system would reduce stress and make the process more efficient.

In response, an auxiliary officer, Mrs. Ma'aruf K. O, claimed that students are responsible for scattering their documents and that the verification process is already being done online. However, the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Umar Aliyu, acknowledged the issues and promised to investigate and forward the students' concerns to the management.

The students' union chairman, Comrade Abdullahi Sanusi, refused to comment on the matter.

The university's manual verification and signing process has caused unnecessary hardship for its graduates. It is imperative for the university management to consider digitalizing the process to alleviate the stress and frustration faced by its students.
