📖 The Story Behind SdashAPI

Building EdTech in Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted. After years of building StudentsDash — a platform helping Nigerian students prepare for JAMB, WAEC, NECO, and Post-UTME — founder Ogbu Chukwuemeka (Emmy) had quietly assembled one of Nigeria's most comprehensive past questions databases. Thousands of verified questions. Decades of exams. Expert-written solutions.

Then came the pivotal question:

"These questions are just sitting here. What if every developer in Nigeria could access them instantly?"

That thought became SdashAPI — Nigeria's most complete, developer-ready past questions API. Clean JSON. No scraping. No PDFs. Just one API call away.
