OPay has announced the top 10 teams advancing to the National Innovation Challenge after its N18m initiative designed to support young Nigerians developing solutions to real-world problems. The programme is run in partnership with Google and Nigeria’s Federal Government through its 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme.
The outlets describe the next stage as a National Innovation Challenge Boot Camp, where the selected teams receive structured support to further develop, test and refine their solutions. Premium Times highlights that teams work with experienced mentors and industry professionals during the boot camp, while other reports focus on the advancement of the teams and the overall promise of N18m in prizes, alongside opportunities that could support participants’ careers.
While the reports vary in how much detail they provide about the boot camp activities and mentoring, they consistently present the same core information: OPay, with Google and 3MTT, selects 10 teams to continue toward the final stage of the competition, with N18m offered across the challenge structure.
