In a bid to reshape the future of Nigeria’s workforce, Hackademia Institute has provided opportunities for 100 women, awarding them scholarships to access world-class tech training. For these women, the scholarships, are a chance to rewrite their stories and step boldly into a future where they can lead, innovate, and thrive.

Since its launch in March 2025, in a bid to mark the 2025 International Women’s Day, Hackademia’s intensive 12-week programs, spanning Software Engineering, Product Management, Product Marketing, and Product Design, have been carefully crafted to equip women not just with technical skills but with the confidence and tools to shape the digital economy and inspire a new generation of leaders.

Founder of Hackademia Institute, Comfort Olatunde, said the mission is deeply personal. “Hackademia is not just about teaching tech; it’s about rewriting the future. We are building the next generation of founders, engineers, and creators who will power Nigeria’s economic evolution. Our vision is clear, a thriving community of 5,000 homegrown talents who hire and build among themselves,” she said.

Already, 50 scholars are in session, combining mentorship, project-based learning, and career guidance in an environment focused on real-world success.
Building on its early momentum, Hackademia is launching a new cohort, offering 150 scholarships targeted at NYSC members and recent graduates (male and female), ensuring that even more young Nigerians are equipped to step confidently into global opportunities.

The institute also called for collaborations in scaling the initiative.
“This is not charity. It’s nation-building. Nigeria’s future will not be imported. It will be built by those who were given a shot and made it count,” she said.
