We must equip them with the right tools,\u201d Aguene said. \u201cWe\u2019re committing N500 million over the next 12 months to support schools nationwide and expand our research and development to address both local and global learning challenges.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Describing the launch as a landmark moment, Aguene emphasized its significance as the first time a homegrown African AI personal tutor is being deployed in a real classroom setting.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Today is not just historic for Bildup AI or Adorable British College, it marks a turning point for Nigerian education. This initiative represents the merging of innovation and local realities,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing concerns around artificial intelligence replacing human teachers, Aguene clarified that Bildup AI is built to complement, not replace educators.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;This technology is designed to empower teachers, not substitute them. By handling routine tasks and offering intelligent, real-time feedback, Bildup AI allows educators to reclaim up to 80% of their time\u2014enabling deeper mentorship and student engagement,\u201d he noted.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He concluded with a passionate call to action, framing the initiative as more than a platform, but a movement to transform African education.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;With continued investment and nationwide adoption, Nigeria can lead the world in AI-powered learning.
