Lagos State University (LASU) has called on its students to participate in the Opay National Innovation Challenge 2026, a programme aimed at fostering innovation and technology-driven solutions among young Nigerians.
The invitation was announced on Tuesday through the university’s Centre for the Actualisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (LASU-SDG), in collaboration with Opay Digital Services Limited.
According to the statement, the initiative is designed to promote creativity and encourage students to develop practical ideas that can address real-world challenges through technology.
The university stated that interested participants are required to form teams of five members each, with every team expected to develop and submit a tangible and innovative idea via the Opay application portal.
LASU noted that the application portal is scheduled to open in March 2026, advising prospective participants to begin team formation ahead of the official launch.
It added that students seeking further information and necessary documentation should visit the LASU-SDG Office located on the third floor of the Babatunde Raji Fashola Senate Building at the university’s main campus in Ojo.
The institution reaffirmed its commitment to supporting initiatives that equip students with relevant skills and opportunities for innovation.
