Transcript, statement of result or certificate?
These are three different documents with different uses. Check which one the receiver asked for before you pay.
Transcript
Your full academic record: every course, its units and grade, semester by semester, and your final CGPA. Official copies are sealed or sent electronically by the university straight to the receiver.
For further study, WES and other evaluators, some employers
Statement of result
A one-page letter confirming you graduated, your degree and your class. It is usually issued to you, not to a receiver, and is often what you use until the certificate is ready.
For NYSC, jobs and further study while you wait for your certificate
Certificate and verification
The degree certificate itself. Many receivers ask the university to confirm it is genuine. This is a separate verification request, often started by the receiver, and it usually has its own fee.
