Edukrest is an education technology startup providing digital infrastructure for schools across Nigeria. The company currently generates revenue through two primary channels: a monthly digital system setup fee per enrolled school, and a one-time consultation and setup fee charged upon school onboarding.
Additional revenue streams — including School Management System and Learning Management System subscription fees, advertisement revenue, and support service fees — are planned to launch in September 2026, representing a significant step-change in monthly recurring revenue.
