Eroidan did not begin in a boardroom. It began in 2020 with a simple platform cbt.iqvistas.com built to give Nigerian students and schools access to Computer Based Testing without the cost and complexity of commercial solutions.
Over five years, that platform grew to serve 145+ users across two institutional clients Ecolyte Technical Academy and St. Mary Schools Karu, demonstrating real demand and delivering measurable results: 65% reduction in teacher assessment time, 3x examination capacity without extra staff, and 70% cost savings versus commercial CBT systems.
But the limitations were clear. A single-tenant architecture meant every school needed separate setup and maintenance. No intelligent analytics. No mock exam simulations. No offline resilience beyond basic optimisation. And the legacy stack had grown as far as it could go. The demand was proven โ what was needed was a ground-up rebuild designed for scale, security, and the realities of Nigerian connectivity from day one.
That rebuild is Eroidan, a multi-tenant SaaS CBT platform built on Django with PostgreSQL schema isolation, a three-layer offline strategy, AI-powered weak area detection, and a business model designed to make professional exam infrastructure affordable for every Nigerian school regardless of size.
"The infrastructure that should support Nigerian education had become the biggest obstacle to it. Eroidan exists to change that for one school, one student at a time."
Nigeria runs one of the world's largest university entrance exam systems with over 1.8 million JAMB candidates annually. Yet the tools supporting both preparation and school-level assessment remain deeply inadequate.
To be the infrastructure layer for computer-based education across Africa a platform where every student, regardless of location or internet quality, can access world-class exam preparation; and every school, from nursery to secondary, can run professional CBT assessments with full data transparency.
To eliminate the gap between how Nigerian students are assessed and how they deserve to be assessed by building something reliable, intelligent, and genuinely designed for the people using it. A platform that works on a shared school lab, on a low-cost Android phone, on a bad connection, and everywhere in between.
Eroidan closes both gaps simultaneously by giving individual students a serious, intelligent preparation tool, and giving schools a fully managed, affordable assessment platform.

Eroidan is the product of years spent at the intersection of Nigerian education, technology infrastructure, and a deep understanding of what it actually takes to build something that works for the majority, not just the minority with fast internet and high-end devices. It is built with a deep understanding of the challenges facing Nigerian students, by someone who has lived and worked in both Nigeria and UK to understand what it takes to build a technology platform that works for everyone.
Whether you're a student preparing for JAMB or a school looking for a better CBT platform, Eroidan is built for you.
