The Federal Ministry of Education has denied reports that the Nigeria Education Management Information System was hacked, describing the report as inaccurate and misleading.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Folasade Boriowo, the director of press and public relations, the ministry reacting to a report titled “Suspected Cyber attack Hits FG’s Education Data Platform”, insisted that the platform remains secure and that no cyber attack occurred.
“The Ministry wishes to categorically state that the report is inaccurate and misleading. At no time was the NEMIS platform hacked, breached, or subjected to any cyber attack. The integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data on the platform remain fully intact,” the statement read.
According to the statement, the temporary warning message seen by some users was caused by an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate configuration issue at the hosting level, rather than any security breach.
