ONITSHA – A leading technovation centre in Anambra State, tActiv8 Hub has trained no fewer than 3,000 young people in digital and en­trepreneurial skill sets, as part of its efforts in strengthening its resounding position in digital ecosystem.

Also, Activ8 Hub is building a thriving community of over 5,000 innovators, founders, cre­ators, and technology enthusi­asts.

Through its flagship No- Code School, strategic partner­ships, and the introduction of GoDigital, the organisation is creating pathways that connect digital skills with employment and entrepreneurship across the state.

Since its inception, the Aw­ka-based hub has graduated learners across five cohorts of its No-Code School, equipping participants with practical skills in digital marketing, AI produc­tivity, no-code web development,

UI/UX design, creative de­sign, video editing, virtual assistance, and social media management. The programme now runs both phys­ically and online, extending ac­cess to quality digital education beyond Anambra.

In addition, Activ8 Hub has continued to strengthen the local innovation ecosystem through initiatives such as the Anambra Creators Meetup and collabora­tions with the Anambra State ICT Agency, Lifting Lives and Communities Initiative (LIFT), Both Of Us (EU-funded), The Pivot Nigeria, Anambra Techies, the Anambra Startup Com­munity, and other ecosystem partners. Recent programmes include AI training for journal­ists and the International Day of Girls in ICT celebration, which introduced girls from schools across Awka and neighbouring communities to careers in tech­nology.

Speaking on the organi­sation‘s vision, mission and growth so far, the Founder and CEO, Chukwuma Mezie-Okoye said the initiative reflects Activ8 Hub’s broader vision of ensur­ing that talent development translates into sustainable eco­nomic opportunities.

Mezie-Okoye said Anambra has the potential to become a destination where young people can build meaningful careers without leaving the state.
