NJFP: 3 frequent error messages
- Verification Failed
• This error may occur due to temporary downtime or a connection issue with the NIN verification service provider.
What to do:
• Wait and try again later.
- NIN Mismatch / Invalid
This typically happens when:
• Your NIN is mistyped or incomplete.
• The name on your NJFP application doesn't match the name on your NIN record.
What to do:
• Ensure your details match exactly as they appear on your NIN, including correct spelling.
If you've changed your name, update your NIN record first.
• If your NIN record is incorrect, visit a NIMC office to update it before trying again.
- "Not Eligible" After Entering NIN?
This message may appear if:
• You are over 30 years old (born before 1995). • Your graduation year is earlier than 2022.
• You are a past NJFP Fellow or Alumnus. • You do not meet other eligibility criteria.
What to do:
• Review all details and confirm you meet the programme's eligibility requirements.
• If you made an error in your NIN or email, use the self-service correction option.

@Emmydgod
I just saw the DOB error on my profile using the Self Service portal, but I’m still getting the NIN Mismatch error on my dashboard.
@ShehuSilas98
I am yet to receive any email again regarding my CBT test after I completed my NIN verification. I tried to log in, but it's not connecting.
What might be the problem?
@BrightDebbie1
Hi, please I tried editing a mistake in my application; however, the editing profile has been disabled because both my NIN and Email verification have been completed.
Please, how can this be rectified?
@adamsaleemm
What about errors like "cannot read properties of undefined(reading 'message") during NIN verification, is that also the same with NIN mismatch?
@Gentlevipher
Please, how can I change the NYSC number?
I mistakenly put my state code instead of my NYSC number @NigeriaJFP.the
