Submit your academic project, thesis, or dissertation to the Nigeria Education Repository & Databank (NERD) through our accredited NERD registration portal.
The Nigeria Education Databank (NED) branded as the National Education Repository and Databank (NERD) is an electronic platform and a one-stop-shop for the national management, administration, and preservation of education data, records, documents and audio-visual assets.
It shall operate as a set of new services to address specific challenges in the education sector.
These include the provision of a central reference point for data consistency covering every aspect of post-secondary education for national planning; perpetual preservation of academic reports and publications; enhancement of the quality of academic reports nationwide through outright elimination of plagiarism and the promotion of attribution; fostering of inter-institution collaboration and positive competition; mitigation of capital flight from previous dependence upon foreign products and services in education data management; the establishment of the Nigerian index of academic publications as a national flagship; a central national repository for equitable access to lecture notes and materials; and, the decisive launch of a systemic quality assurance check nationwide to curtail academic fraud which threatens the integrity of the education sector due to the activities of merchants of fake degrees, ‘arrangee’ qualifications, phoney certificates, bogus unearned honours from unaccredited institutions and diploma mills.
For over two decades, Nigeria depended on foreign platforms for managing academic records, leading to concerns over national security, loss of national identity, and significant capital flight. In addition, the country faces serious challenges in preserving theses and research materials, many of which are neglected, discarded, or left underutilized instead of contributing to national growth and development.
NERD addresses these challenges by establishing a centralized Nigerian educational databank designed to preserve the nation’s academic records and intellectual assets while promoting consistency and reliability in educational data management.
As the first private-sector-driven big data initiative for education in Sub-Saharan Africa, NERD strengthens Nigeria’s ownership and control of its educational data ecosystem.
