NELFUND emphasized that the verification process depends on the alignment of provided information with the records held by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB). Any disparities or inconsistencies may lead to complications, including the inability to proceed with registration or access certain services.

"It is very important to note that NIN and BVN verification can fail if the details students provide do not match JAMB details," NELFUND noted. This feature, designed to prevent fraudulent activities, acts as a safeguard to protect the integrity of registration processes and ensure fairness for all candidates.

Furthermore, the advisory served as a proactive measure to empower students with essential information, thereby reducing potential challenges and minimizing disruptions during registration exercises. NELFUND encouraged students to exercise diligence and attention to detail when providing NIN and BVN details, emphasizing the repercussions of error in the verification process.
