The University of Abuja (UniAbuja) on Thursday unveiled what is believed to be Nigeria’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered academic research ecosystem dedicated to structured thesis, dissertation, and scholarly writing.
The platform, tagged ‘Thesis-SpeedWrite’, is designed to support ethical, structured, and disciplined research writing by guiding students, researchers, and academics through the various stages of scholarly work, from topic development and literature review to data analysis, citation management, and final manuscript preparation.
Developed by Professor Isaiah Ilo of the Department of Theatre Arts, the AI-powered ecosystem seeks to improve the quality of academic research while promoting originality, academic integrity, and adherence to global scholarly standards.
