Crafting the Future of Research in West Africa
Discover the journey behind Akep AI and our mission to digitize, streamline, and elevate the dissertation process for a new generation of scholars.
The Challenge: A Complex Academic Landscape
In universities across West Africa, the path to academic excellence is often hindered by outdated, paper-based processes. Students and supervisors face significant hurdles that stifle innovation and progress.
Costly Duplication
Countless hours and resources are wasted on printing physical copies, with a high risk of unintentionally duplicating existing research due to a lack of centralized digital archives.
Inefficient Workflows
Manual tracking, feedback, and approval cycles create long delays, administrative burdens, and a frustrating experience for both students and supervisors.
Limited Accessibility
Valuable research remains locked in physical archives, inaccessible to the wider academic community for collaboration, citation, and continued learning.
A Founder's Journey: Witnessing the Struggle
Our founder, having navigated the West African university system, experienced these grassroots challenges firsthand. The vision for Akep AI was born not in a boardroom, but from the library queues, the stacks of printed papers, and the conversations with fellow students and faculty who dreamed of a better way. It was a mission to replace frustration with flow, and barriers with breakthroughs.
“We saw brilliant minds held back by archaic systems. I knew we could leverage technology to unlock their true potential and create a lasting impact on our continent’s academic legacy.”
Abdular Tamba Lebbie, Founder
