Brief Information
About Hack.NG

We started few years ago trying to bring farmers to sellers (Kobofarm) (solve a local problem), but during our journey, we discovered the scope of the problem is bigger than we thought. There are so many challenges that lie on the infrastructural deficiency of the country. Imagine connecting a farmer living in the remote parts to internet. Beyond that, credible knowledge fueled by data is absent. We Consider the fact that the next-gen farmers are not the perceived "old in remote places" but they are YOUTHS adopting farming. A for us by us approach is then employed going by farmhack.

Farmhack gave us as broader scope and after 2 years of successfully hacking the farm in the universities, we decided to collaborate with other companies with similar mission to build HACK.NG

Hack.NG is a school-based independent student group. You find our ambassadors, you find young minds meeting regularly to compete in solving local problems. Once - every year - there will be a need to solve a national problem through an inter-university competition.
