Honest answers
to real questions

Yes — really free. No card required, no subscription, no premium tier hidden behind a paywall. Every Nigerian student, teacher, and family can use the full platform at no cost.

There is no catch. The platform is currently self-funded by the founder. Long-term, we’re pursuing institutional partnerships (NERDC, schools, foundations) and ethical funding paths — but individual learners will always be free.

We do not sell your child’s data. We do not profile children for advertisers. We do not share learning data with third parties for marketing.

The data we do collect is the minimum needed to make the platform work — account info, learning progress, conversation history with Frema and Berur. It’s used to improve YOUR experience, not to be sold. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

StudyPlugHub Nigeria is not currently endorsed by NERDC, the Federal Ministry of Education, WAEC, or NECO. Our curriculum data is grounded in NERDC frameworks, and WASSCE/NECO-anchored to past papers — but that’s alignment, not endorsement.

We’re pursuing official partnership conversations in good faith. We’ll tell you the moment that changes.

Yes. 15 JSS subjects are covered, aligned to the NERDC 9-Year Basic Education Curriculum (WAEC/NECO BECE). 43 SSS subjects are shipped, covering the full NERDC Senior Secondary curriculum, anchored to WAEC WASSCE and NECO SSCE.

Exam anchoring: every applicable SSS subject is anchored to WASSCE and NECO past papers, with WAEC Chief Examiner intelligence integrated into the coaching layer.

Note: some subjects ship with thinner pedagogical depth than others while we work through the curriculum. We’re thickening them month by month, and we’re always honest about which is which.

WAEC publishes Chief Examiner Reports after every WASSCE — detailed breakdowns of where candidates gained and lost marks, per subject, per question. They are some of the most valuable exam-prep intelligence available.

We are building these reports into the coaching engine, so that Frema and the teacher tools can ground their guidance in what WAEC examiners actually flag — the common mistakes, the expected answers, the topics students consistently struggle with.

This is the kind of insight that, until now, only the best-resourced schools and tutors had time to study. We’re putting it in every student’s and teacher’s hands — for free.

Yes — with a clear caveat.

We don’t have university curriculum content the way we have NERDC SSS content. But the tools work for tertiary use cases: Frema (the AI tutor) can help university students explore concepts, draft outlines, and study; Writing Coach helps with academic essays and structure; and Berur (the chatbot) is a strong general study companion for presentations and research.

Think of it as: the tools are general-purpose enough for university study, the curriculum data is JSS / SSS specific. Many of our higher-ed users find that combination very useful.

Yes — and we’d love that. The platform is free for every student and every teacher individually, which means a whole class can use it at no cost.

ChatGPT is a brilliant general-purpose AI. StudyPlugHub Nigeria is built for one specific job: Nigerian education.

A few key differences:

• Curriculum-grounded. Every claim Frema makes can be traced back to a NERDC learning outcome. ChatGPT doesn’t know NERDC.

• WASSCE and NECO anchored. We’ve indexed WASSCE and NECO papers and WAEC Chief Examiner Reports. We know what these exams actually test, in the way they actually test it.

• Nigerian context. Jollof, the Niger Delta, Aso Rock, suya, Lagos markets — our examples are Nigerian by default.

• Ethical guardrails. Frema teaches Socratically. She won’t just hand a student the answer. Three layers of content safety run on every conversation.

• Free, no card. ChatGPT’s best features sit behind a paywall many Nigerian families can’t access.

Right now: English.

Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo are already available as subjects you can study on the platform — Nigeria’s three major languages, covered in both JSS and SSS.

Deeper mother-tongue interface support is on the roadmap, so a student can think in the language they think in, and learn in the language they sit exams in. No confirmed date yet — we’ll announce when we’re close.

Not yet, but it’s on the roadmap.

Offline mode is a priority because many Nigerian students study in areas with patchy connectivity. The plan: download a subject, study without data, sync when you’re back online.

No confirmed date — this is a real engineering effort — but we’ll announce when we’re close.

StudyPlugHub Nigeria was built by Derick, an African founder originally from Ghana, based in Geelong, Australia, working as an NDIS Team Leader by day and building this platform by night.

The two AI personas — Frema (the tutor) and Berur (the chatbot) — carry the names of his children.
