President Bola Tinubu on Friday congratulated Al’amin Muhammed Idris, chief executive of Interface Africa, on winning the NextGen Innovation Challenge.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the President on information and strategy, said Interface Africa, representing Kaduna, won a cash award of £1.5 million at the challenge’s grand finale, held on Thursday at the Hilton London Paddington.
The NextGen Innovation Challenge is a national initiative spearheaded by the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) in partnership with UKALD London.
Onanuga said the challenge, inspired by President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, ‘is designed to unlock Nigerian youths’ innovative potential.’
