Last Sunday, at our Ibom Air Day celebration at the Christmas Park, we had the honour of officially presenting the ₦1,000,000 prize to Nsikak and Philip Ebong, the founders of ACAD AI and the winners of the Ibom Air Prize for Innovation Challenge at Akwa Ibom Tech Week 2025.

Watching their journey unfold has been nothing short of inspiring. From standing on the pitch floor alongside 15 other bold innovators to rising through the semi-finals, to emerging as champions on the main stage—ACAD AI demonstrated the kind of creativity, resilience, and forward-thinking spirit that truly reflects the future of Akwa Ibom.

Their advancement isn’t just a win for them; it’s a powerful signal that our state’s talent is prepared to compete on a global scale.

At Ibom Air, we believe that innovation thrives when it is nurtured, celebrated, and given room to take flight. The Innovation Challenge is one way we continue investing in the next generation of thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers across our state.

Congratulations once again to ACAD AI. This is only the beginning—and we can’t wait to see how far your vision will go.
