From Bauchi to Enugu, five standout teams rose to the top at DigiHive Hack 2025, DigiHive’s annual hackathon themed “Build with Purpose, Shine with Impact.”

The event brought together a diverse mix of early-career professionals, students, and young tech enthusiasts, united by one goal — to use technology to make life better.

Impact: A cleaner environment, lower costs for recyclers, and new income opportunities for communities.

4. Team Arewa — Ratel: Giving Citizens a Voice
