Abstract: Plagiarism is an inappropriate practice in which a person makes use of the words and ideas of another person without fully acknowledging the person. Presently, most tertiary institutions students project work in Nigeria is stored on shelves which can make it impossible to compare one or more projects to determine if plagiarism has been committed. When manually done, this is inefficient and tedious for any individual to be picking files one by one and comparing against other files to determine the occurrence of plagiarism.
