The Federal Ministry of Education has officially dismissed media reports claiming that the Nigeria Education Management Information System (NEMIS) was compromised by a cyberattack.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry categorically denied that the platform was hacked, breached, or subjected to any unauthorised access. The FG clarified the education platform alert and denied any cyberattack, explaining that a temporary browser warning seen by some users was caused by a routine Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate configuration issue at the hosting level.
The Ministry assured that no data was lost, altered, or exposed, and that platform integrity and security remain intact. Its technical team promptly resolved the matter with the hosting service provider.
The Ministry also cautioned media and the public against spreading unverified information that could undermine confidence in government digital platforms. It urged stakeholders to seek official clarification before publishing claims about government systems.
