NAU Central is a combination of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU) and Central (referring to our goal of bringing together several features that will benefit and enhance the lives of NAU students under one platform roof). NAU Central, however, is a private entity with no parent or child company relationship with the institution Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. We only developed this platform to benefit the lives of the students of NAU.

NAU Central is a student-built website. In addition, it is a rapidly developing website that aims to satisfy the wants and needs of NAU students. We are doing this by creating a section for calculating and saving the CGPA of students when they submit their results on our platform.

Furthermore, with our marketplace feature (still yet to be launched while this was being written), we are looking towards enhancing the student business economy of NAU and its community. The marketplace aims to connect student buyers with student sellers and people who offer student-focused services through a well-built and thought-out solution that evolves to meet the needs of the buyers and sellers.

Our referral program provides students an avenue to earn income by bringing fellow students onto the platform. We hold weekly referral competitions where the user with the most referrals (referred the most people) for that week is credited with 5000 NGN and the second runner-up with 1000 NGN. This program was launched in late April 2024 and paused in late May 2024. Hopefully, it will be restarted this June, with the winnings increasing from the first to the third position.

We currently have 3 flagship features, CGPA, memories, and marketplace, with the CGPA being the most used feature. We currently have over 14,000 CGPA records in our database, with more added every minute. We plan on using these records to show students interesting graphs about their performance in comparison to others, as well as to compare and understand the CGPA graphs between faculties and departments.

All in all, NAU Central is a platform built by students and for students. We have aspirations of providing this platform and its school-experience-enhancing features to students all around the Southeastern part of Nigeria, and eventually the whole country!
