The University of Ilorin, Nigeria in collaboration with six other Nigerian universities have
developed home-grown anti-plagiarism software, designed to check academic fraud.
According to the University Bulletin, the other
universities are Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin and Covenant University, Ota. Others are Delta State University Abraka, Benue State University
Makurdi, University of Jos and Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, all in Nigeria.
According the publication the software programme development was at the instance of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU).
This, it said, is the umbrella organisation for Vice-Chancellors of the nation’s federal, state and private universities.
It said the AVCNU had mandated its Information and Communication
Technology Sub-committee, chair, and the Vice-Chancellor, University of
Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, to assemble IT team from Nigerian
universities.
The publication said this would develop the home-grown anti-plagiarism
software with the local repository.
It quoted the Director, Computer Services and Information Technology
(COMSIT), Directorate of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Mohammed Ahmed,
as saying the software was at 80 per cent completion.
Ahmed added that using local human resource to develop the software has
helped to cut down cost and show the ingenuity of Nigerians.
He explained that the software has both local and global repository with
features such as peer review, document comparison, and grammar checker.
`’Other features are language support and title validation, with the
name EAGLE SCAN being proposed for the programme,’’ he said.
Ahmed said when operational, the anti-plagiarism application, would be
made available to all Nigerian universities.
He said that the application would compete globally, and he called on
the AVCNU to see to the digitisation of local contents in the various
universities.
“The VC of the Unilorin Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, commended the
technical team put together by the AVCNU to develop the programme.
He noted that plagiarism is a criminal offence that has given the AVCNU
concern, adding that the development of the programme is the AVCNU’s
effort to ensure quality control towards quality assurance in the
Nigeria education system.
