Team ByteBros from Lagos State University (LASU) emerged as the overall winner of the fourth Cavista Technologies Hackathon, which concluded at the weekend in Lagos.

The team outperformed 46 other teams of 200 participating students, securing the N2 million grand prize. This year’s edition recorded a notable increase in participation, drawing students from five tertiary institutions across Lagos.

In her welcome address, General Manager, Cavista Technologies, Oyebola Morakinyo, encouraged participants to continually push boundaries and embrace bold thinking. She noted that innovation thrives when individuals challenge assumptions, break limits, and build solutions that others only imagine.

According to her, “In a world where technology evolves almost at the speed of light, hackathons remind us why pushing boundaries matters. We are not here just to host a competition, but to create a space for the visionaries who will define tomorrow.”

She further emphasised Cavista’s commitment to talent development, stating, “We always want to hire the best and the brightest. We want to ensure that talent is available here at Cavista Tech, talent that embodies our innovative corporate values and has the confidence to take on challenges anywhere in the industry.”

Delivering her goodwill message via the screen, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, commended Cavista Technologies for fostering innovation by creating an environment where brilliant young minds can collaborate and develop solutions to real-world problems. She noted that platforms like the hackathon empower young Nigerians to transform their talents into solutions that fuel economic growth and enhance the nation’s creative ecosystem.
