Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming educational systems globally, offering innovative approaches to improving teaching, learning and educational management. In Nigeria, persistent challenges such as poor educational quality, limited access and infrastructural deficits continue to hinder national development. This paper critically examines the role of AI in enhancing educational quality and its implications for sustainable national development in Nigeria. It also explores AI applications in personalized learning, intelligent tutoring, teacher development and educational administration. Despite its potential, challenges such as digital divide, inadequate infrastructure, policy gaps, and ethical concerns remain significant. It was concluded that strategic investment, policy reforms, and capacity building are essential to maximize the benefits of AI in Nigeria's education sector.
