The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has called on young Nigerian innovators to create marketable solutions that can tackle the country's pressing challenges. At the start of the virtual hackathon phase of the FutureMakers by NASENI innovation programme, NASENI's Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, Khalil Halilu, emphasized the need for deliberate support of young innovators with infrastructure, mentorship, and platforms to transform ideas into products.
The 60 innovators, representing the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, are participating in the four-day hackathon from August 17 to 20 to develop prototypes and refine technology-driven solutions that address challenges in their respective regions. The hackathon will culminate in the FutureMakers Pitch Sessions on August 24 to 26, where the top three innovators from each zone will receive monetary prizes, and the winners will compete at the NASENI Invention Fest for a N5 million grand prize, an international study tour, and scholarships to prominent Nigerian universities.
