When one encounters difficulties when writing an academic assignment – for example, a particularly difficult essay – it is only natural to turn to online writing services for help. However, the question here is how to choose an agency that will deliver your assignment on time and will do a good job of it? One way is to try out blindly a number of companies until you stumble upon the one you like. Another is to read a review by someone who already tried it out for you. Today we are going to tell you about – a writing service you may have already heard about.

AdvancedWriters.com: Main Features at a Glance

If you are looking for an agency where you can pay for an essay, then AdvancedWriters.com is a viable choice, as it combines a number of advantages any student would highly appreciate, such as:

Reasonable prices. The price of an order heavily depends on its urgency, but even the most time-sensitive tasks are priced fairly and affordably;
Attention to detail. Several test assignments showed that the company’s writers follow the client’s instructions carefully and try to follow them in everything;
Ability to work fast. AdvancedWriters.com states that it is capable of delivering its jobs quickly, and practice shows that they are true to their word. When you place an order, you can be almost completely sure it is going to be delivered before the deadline.

What about Plagiarism?

As we all know, one of the most unpleasant issues about online writing agencies is that of plagiarism – quite a number of these companies are ready to sell copy/pasted assignments or compilations of already written works as original essays. According to AdvancedWriters.com, they check every assignment they sell using a sophisticated anti-plagiarism engine to ensure it contains zero percent of matches with other texts. They also encourage their clients to use any anti-plagiarism tools of their choice to find out if it is true, and several test runs show that the texts produced by the company are indeed written from scratch.

Writing Quality

Even a completely original text isn’t of much use if it is poorly written. Luckily, everything seems to be alright in this respect: all the assignments produced by AdvancedWriters.com that we’ve seen have been obviously written by people who are well-versed in their respective fields of expertise and experienced in writing. They contain next to no mistakes and flaws which shows that they’ve been carefully proofread and edited before delivered to the client.

Customer Support

Ordering an assignment from a writing service isn’t always as easy as submitting an order and waiting for it to be completed. Sometimes you have to resolve certain issues with customer support, and AdvancedWriters.com excels at it. Their support team seems to be online at all times, ready to answer your questions and assist you with your orders whenever you contact them, even on weekends and at night. People working there know everything about the company and are capable of providing detailed information at short notice.

Overall Evaluation

AdvancedWriters.com is a more than decent writing service you can safely use to deal with a wide range of academic assignments, ranging from simple essays to research papers and dissertations. It obviously has numerous writers of varying academic levels working for it, which means that whatever assignment you place, there will be someone with sufficient knowledge and skill to deal with it. The orders are delivered on time, which is understandably very important for students looking for assistance with their writing. A good choice for almost any writing job.

A university don, Prof. Sunday Olatunji, has argued that Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be made a compulsory course for all students in higher institutions across Nigeria, irrespective of their field of study

He also called on Nigeria and Africa to build an intelligent, inclusive and technologically sovereign future to elevate human potential through artificial intelligence.

To achieve these goals, the Professor of Artificial Intelligence urged the nation and continent to: institutionalize capacity building for AI excellence; develop functional policy and ethical frameworks for responsible AI; build artificial intelligence literacy and workforce development; make AI a general course in all higher institutions; promote no-code

AI and machine learning pathways for beginners; develop public-private-academic partnerships; and build inclusive and culturally grounded AI.Prof. Olatunji, who is ranked by the National Universities Commission (NUC) as the Best AI Researcher in Nigeria (2025), made these statements on Tuesday, while delivering the 53rd Inaugural Lecture of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, held at the University Multipurpose Hall.

The lecture was titled, Symbiosis of Mind and Machine: Harnessing AI for National Development.He stressed that artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction but a reality that permeates every stratum of human life. “Just as Computer Appreciation became a national requirement decades ago, the time has come for AI Appreciation as a compulsory General Studies (GST) course.

This course should introduce all students, regardless of discipline, to aspects of AI including: AI fundamentals, machine learning concepts, applications of AI in their respective fields, ethical implications of AI, and its role in national development, among others,” he said.

The lecturer called on governments to establish AI innovation hubs in all tertiary institutions and research centres; promote cross-disciplinary collaboration integrating computing; provide national research grants focused on AI solutions for local challenges; and recruit and train faculty specialised in AI, machine learning, data science, robotics, and computational intelligence.

Prof. Olatunji allayed fears that AI could replace humans or end humanity, positing that, “Many fear that the rise of artificial intelligence signals the decline of human relevance – that the machine might replace the mind. But history teaches otherwise. Every technological revolution – from the printing press to electricity, from the internet to AI – has not diminished humanity but rather redefined it.

Today, AI diagnoses diseases, predicts the weather, translates languages, and protects nations.

Prof. Olatunji has garnered from far and wide and commended his role in setting up the Faculty of Computing and for doing a yeoman’s job as its founding Dean.

The Vice Chancellor also noted that Prof. Olatunji is a well-respected and accomplished academic and researcher who has carved an enviable niche for himself in the digital world of computing and artificial intelligence.

The Federal Government is set to formally sign an agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities following weeks of negotiations.

The development may be linked to the 40 per cent salary increase for academic staff proposed by the FG last month and accepted by the union.

A circular issued by the Ministry of Education invited Vice-Chancellors and Registrars of federal universities to witness the signing ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Tertiary Education Trust Fund Conference Hall, Abuja.

The circular, dated January 5, 2026, and referenced FME/IS/UNI/ASUU/C.11/Vol.V/82, was signed by the Director of University Education, Rakiya Ilyasu, on behalf of the Minister of Education.

It was titled ‘Invitation to the Ceremony for the Signing of Agreement Between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities.’

The circular was sighted by our correspondent on Saturday and confirmed by the Ministry’s Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.

“This signing represents a critical milestone in promoting industrial harmony and improving teaching and learning in our universities.

“It also reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to the sustainable development of education in line with the Renewed

Attendance at the ceremony was declared mandatory for all invited university administrators, highlighting the importance attached to the agreement and its implementation.

Last month, the industrial crisis that had burdened Nigeria’s university system for 16 years following the 2009 Federal Government–ASUU Agreement saw the union accept the Federal Government’s proposed 40 per cent salary increase for academic staff.

It was reported that the deal, effective from January 1, 2026, would be reviewed after three years

Why FG Shouldn’t Be Blamed for Non-Implementation of Council Autonomy

Under the new terms, professors will earn a pension equivalent to their final annual salary upon retirement at age 70. The agreement also provides for the establishment of a National Research Council to fund research with at least one per cent of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product.

Other provisions include improved funding for libraries, laboratories, equipment and staff development, greater university autonomy, and the election of academic leaders, with only professors eligible to serve as deans and provosts. The pact also guarantees that no staff member involved in past industrial actions will be victimised.
