“The hackathon attracted developers and innovators from across the country. It witnessed computer programmers and others involved in software development, collaborate intensively to build software solutions to defined problem statements by Total Nigeria,” the partners said.

The event was the pilot phase of a long-term project to create innovation, impact and service, with Total Nigeria and Wennovation Hub hoping to harness innovative technological solutions to pre-defined problem statements, with the purpose of creating a sustainable platform for innovative growth as well as improving business productivity and profitability.
