Society Gists

In line with its mission of empowering businesses and young innovators across Africa, HabariPay’s Squad launched its first-ever Squad Hackademy Programme on September 13th.

The hybrid internship programme is the second phase of its first-ever hackathon, “Take on Squad Hackathon 1.0.” which held on the 19th and 20th of January 2024, at the state-of-the-art GTCO Training Complex, Tayo’s Plaza, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

In this cycle of the Squad Hackademy Programme, six of the best-performing students from the Take on Squad Hackathon 1.0 will have their tuition paid until they graduate as they get hands-on learning experience working in one of Nigeria’s leading Fintech companies.

Participants in this programme will work on real-life case scenarios during SIWES and University holidays. Commenting on the inaugural Squad Hackademy programme, Eduofon Japhet, Managing Director of HabariPay Ltd, said: “We are delighted to be delivering on the next phase of our Hackathon programme.

The Squad Hackademy is the first of many initiatives to offer young, enterprising students a platform to engage meaningfully with technology and showcase their creativity and problem-solving abilities while helping them with their tuition fees along the way.”
