Briefs
The gym and the match.
Two kinds of brief, honestly labelled. Client briefs are real, sponsored problems from organisations, with the client judging the work. Training briefs are the practice ground: drawn from real Nigerian problems, built for learning. Open to ages 13 to 35.
Client briefs
Real, sponsored, judged by the clientThe first client briefs arrive with the first sponsored season.
Client briefs are real problems posted by organisations, with prize money and the client on the judging panel. If your organisation has a problem worth fifty young builders' attention, post a brief.
Training briefs
The practice groundCurated practice briefs drawn from real Nigerian problems across 38 sectors. The work, the certificate, and the portfolio entry are real; the client is not waiting on the other end. This is where you train before the match.
Give Nigeria's Community Health Extension Workers the Tools They Deserve
CHEWs are the backbone of primary healthcare in Nigeria. They visit homes, follow up on pregnant women, and track disease outbreaks — mostly with pen and paper and personal phones. Design their digital toolkit.
Build the Data Bridge That Connects Nigeria's Fragmented Health Records
A patient who visits three different health facilities in Nigeria has three separate unconnected records. Doctors make life-or-death decisions without knowing the patient's history. Fix this.
Predict and Prevent Maternal Deaths in Nigerian Health Facilities
Nigeria accounts for over 20% of global maternal deaths. Most of these deaths are preventable. Design the risk prediction tool that gives health workers enough warning to intervene.
Build the STEM Educational Game Nigerian Secondary Students Will Choose to Play
Nigerian students who play mobile games for 3 hours a day could be learning STEM concepts at the same time. They are not because nobody has built a game that is genuinely fun first and educational second.
Build Nigeria's University Esports League Infrastructure
Nigeria has over 200 universities and over 1 million gaming-age students. There is no organised university esports league. Design the infrastructure to build one.
Build a Game Around Nigerian or West African Mythology
Yoruba orishas, Igbo creation myths, Hausa folktales — Nigeria has some of the world's richest narrative traditions. None of them are at the centre of a globally distributed game. Design the one that changes this.
Design a Food Supply Chain That Makes Adulteration Economically Unattractive
Food adulteration in Nigeria is a business decision, not just a moral failure. The current supply chain makes it profitable. Design the one that makes it unprofitable.
Fix the Logistics of Nigeria's National School Feeding Programme
Nigeria's National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme reaches 10 million children — but food quality is inconsistent, payments to cooks are delayed by months, and procurement is riddled with ghost entries. Design the operational fixes.
Build a Shared Cold Chain for Nigeria's Perishable Food Market
Tomatoes, fish, dairy, and poultry lose 30–50% of their value between farm and consumer because Nigeria's cold chain is fragmented and inaccessible to small traders. Design the shared infrastructure model that fixes this.
Design the First Bank Account Millions of Nigerian Teenagers Will Actually Use
Only 28% of Nigerians aged 15–25 have a bank account. It is not because banks have not tried — it is because everything about existing youth accounts is designed for middle-class university students, not the majority.
Build the Savings and Investment Platform for Nigerian Women
Nigerian women save more consistently than men but are systematically excluded from investment products. Design the platform that turns savings habits into wealth-building.
Build a Credit Score for 100 Million Unbanked Nigerians
Over 100 million Nigerians have no formal credit history — so they cannot borrow, even when they are demonstrably creditworthy. Design the alternative credit scoring model that sees them.
