Hack4Livestock Hackathon 2025 (₦5 million prize)

Are you ready to transform Nigeria’s livestock industry through cutting-edge technology? Join Hack4Livestock 2025 – a dynamic hackathon uniting innovators, technologists, and agricultural experts to solve Nigeria’s biggest livestock challenges through sustainable, tech-driven solutions.

Nigeria’s livestock sector plays a significant role in national development, contributing over 5% to the country’s GDP and supporting the livelihoods of millions, especially in rural communities. Despite its importance, the sector faces persistent challenges such as inefficient grazing systems, frequent farmer-herder conflicts, disease outbreaks, limited access to markets, and poor infrastructure. These issues continue to hinder productivity and sustainability within the industry. Hack4Livestock is a forward-thinking initiative designed to address these challenges by fostering innovation, collaboration, and digital inclusion. It brings together technologists, agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, and local stakeholders to develop practical, tech-driven solutions tailored to the sector’s unique needs. By leveraging emerging technologies such as mobile applications, data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and digital platforms, Hack4Livestock aims to improve animal health, streamline market access, and promote smarter herd management. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to transform Nigeria’s livestock ecosystem into a more efficient, resilient, and inclusive engine for economic growth.
