Nigeria is preparing for its most ambitious classroom technology rollout yet. GMind AI, an AI-powered infrastructure for education, has joined forces with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) to launch a dedicated teaching platform for the country’s 1.5 million licensed educators.
The agreement, signed on August 13, 2025, will see the creation of a contextualised, simulation-ready AI platform that blends Nigeria’s curriculum, local history, and cultural realities with global best practices, redefining how teaching is planned, delivered, and experienced across the nation’s classrooms.
A Platform Built for Nigerian Classrooms
The GMind AI–TRCN platform will give teachers access to AI-generated lesson plans, assessment tools, smart study guidance, and classroom engagement strategies, all fine-tuned for Nigerian learners. Lessons will be available in both global and local contexts, so a history class could explore the Benin Kingdom alongside Victorian England in a single learning framework.
“We want AI-generated lesson plans that are contextualised for our children,” said TRCN Registrar Dr. Ronke Soyombo. “Every lesson will also be simulated, because 21st-century learners need to see and experience concepts for learning to be profound.”

Why GMind AI Was the Right Choice
For Dr. Soyombo, the decision to partner with GMind AI was strategic.
“Unlike generic systems, GMind AI understands our classrooms,” she said. “What convinced us was the platform’s ability to deliver resources that work in any context, whether you’re in a high-tech city school or a low-bandwidth rural community. That’s the kind of infrastructure Nigeria needs to bridge its digital divide.”
She added that the platform will be officially launched on October 6, following the unveiling of TRCN’s new website on August 25, which will feature multilingual video guides. Nationwide training sessions for teachers in all six geopolitical zones are also planned.
An AI-Powered Infrastructure, Not Just an App
“GMind AI is not just an app, it’s an AI-powered infrastructure for education,” said Dr. Deji Ajani, GMind AI’s Director of Strategic Partnerships and Innovation.
“We designed it to work with the realities of African classrooms, bridging infrastructural gaps and ensuring no teacher is left behind, regardless of location or connectivity. Our goal is to embed intelligence and adaptability into the very backbone of education delivery.”
The platform is Multilingual, offline-ready, and mobile-first, ensuring accessibility for teachers everywhere.
Scaling Impact: From Pilot to Nationwide Rollout
The pilot phase will begin in Q4 2025, targeting 50,000 teachers across Nigeria’s diverse regions and training 2,500 master trainers on AI for classrooms.
By Q1 2026, the master trainers will lead the upskilling of 100,000 teachers nationwide.
By Q2–Q3 2026, the platform will scale to reach all 1.5 million licensed educators, with training expanded to 500,000 teachers.
The Nigeria Impact Report will be published in Q4 2026, featuring research findings, success stories, and policy recommendations, alongside the full national rollout.
Data That Drives Policy
The GMind AI–TRCN platform will also deliver real-time analytics to policymakers, tracking teacher engagement, lesson quality, and growth in digital skills.
“Good data makes for smart decisions,” said Dr. Ajani. “We’re giving TRCN the intelligence it needs to continually evolve teacher development.”
Why This Matters
With a potential reach of 45 million students, this collaboration has the power to position Nigeria as a leader in Africa’s AI-driven education movement, setting a precedent for how technology can strengthen identity, improve quality, and expand access all at once.
“We’re not just deploying tech,” Soyombo concluded. “We’re shaping the future of teaching and learning in Nigeria. As the Giant of Africa, this position positions Nigeria to be at the forefront of AI for education on the continent, improving learning outcomes for millions of students while empowering teachers with the tools, skills, and confidence they need to thrive in the 21st-century classroom.”
Nigeria’s classrooms are poised to become the benchmark for AI-powered education across Africa, demonstrating how local context, cultural relevance, and robust infrastructure can set a new standard for learning in emerging markets worldwide.
