Education Trust Infrastructure · Nigeria

The single source of verified truth for Nigerian education.

Every university, polytechnic, and college of education in one API — with provenance on every field, the NUC illegal-institutions blacklist built in, and verification your compliance team can act on.

$ curl -X POST https://akadaiq.com/v1/verify/institution \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" -d '{"name":"Covenant University"}'

{
  "success": true,
  "reference": "AKD-9F21C4A0B7D3",
  "verdict": "RECOGNISED",
  "institution": { "regulator": "NUC", "ownership": "private" },
  "provenance": {
    "source": "NUC directory",
    "verified": true,
    "confidence": "high"
  }
}

Why "trust" and not just "data"

Directories go stale in months. Nigeria's higher-education landscape renames, upgrades, and licenses institutions continuously — and the NUC has publicly identified 58 illegal degree mills. A list is not enough. Proof is the product.

POST /v1/verify/institution

EduKYC Verification

Is this institution real, licensed, and in good standing — or on the NUC blacklist? One call, an audit reference, and provenance a compliance officer can file.

GET /v1/institutions

The Registry

288 seeded institutions across NUC, NBTE, and NCCE jurisdictions — filterable by type, ownership, state, and verification status, with fuzzy search and autocomplete.

POST /v1/ask

Ask in plain language

"Which federal universities in the South-West are on record?" AI translates the question into an auditable registry query and answers only from returned records.

POST /v1/admitiq/probability

AdmitIQ

Admission probability bands computed strictly against recorded cut-offs — with explicit data-gap notices instead of invented figures.

/mcp

MCP Server

Plug AkadaIQ into Claude and other AI agents as the canonical Nigerian education tool. Four tools, JSON-RPC over HTTP, your API key.

GET /v1/changelog

The Sentinel

An AI curation pipeline monitors regulatory sources daily, extracts changes with confidence scores, and routes them through human review. Sync deltas by changelog.

Provenance is a first-class citizen.

Every field in every response carries its source, verification date, and confidence — so "tuition" is never just a number:

source: bursary circular 2025/2026 verified: 2026-06-14 confidence: high needs_review: name change reported

Pricing built for Nigeria

Naira-native tiers for local builders, pay-per-verification for compliance workloads, and dollar plans for diaspora and international consumers.

Data honesty notice. Registry records seeded from compiled directories ship as verified: false until the AkadaIQ curation team re-confirms them against current NUC, NBTE, and NCCE publications. Verification verdicts always disclose record status. We would rather tell you what we don't know yet than sell you a stale answer.
