As we celebrate Eid al-Adha, we are reminded of the values of sacrifice, faith, obedience, compassion, and service to humanity. These are values that inspire stronger communities and meaningful progress.

At BenueTech, we recognize that true growth, whether in technology, innovation, or society, is built on commitment, shared purpose, and the willingness to make sacrifices for a greater future.

We extend our warmest wishes to our Muslim community and everyone celebrating. May this season bring peace, joy, renewed hope, and abundant blessings to you and your loved ones.

Eid Mubarak from all of us at BenueTech.

Today, we celebrate the dreamers, the builders of tomorrow, and the young minds whose curiosity will shape the future.

At BenueTech we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, create, and imagine boldly. The innovators, founders, engineers, and problem solvers of tomorrow are the children we inspire, equip, and empower today.

This Children’s Day, we celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and limitless potential of every child. May we continue to build a future where they have access to the tools, knowledge, and opportunities needed to thrive in a technology driven world.

Happy Children’s Day from all of us at BenueTech.

Sonal AI is not just a name on a partnership list, it is a statement about the kind of innovation this ecosystem is connected to. Founded by Tim Uzua, one of Pitch Friday's own judges and a son of Makurdi, Sonal AI is a wearable AI device that listens to your conversations and automatically converts your commitments into tasks, reminders, calendar events, and email drafts, before life moves on and you forget. Already featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and Wired, and currently taking pre-orders ahead of its Q3 2026 launch, Sonal AI represents exactly the kind of bold, boundary-pushing product that Pitch Friday exists to inspire. That its founder is sitting in the judge's seat this Friday, evaluating the next generation of builders from the same city where his own journey began, makes this partnership more than a business arrangement. It is a full-circle moment. Sonal AI is proof that world-class innovation can come from Benue, and their partnership with Pitch Friday is a reminder to every founder in that room that the ceiling is much higher than they think.

Partnerships like this are how ecosystems grow.

We appreciate Skyhub Nigeria for supporting BenueTech Pitch Friday and investing in the future of innovation in the Benue Valley. Led by Solomon Yateghtegh, Skyhub has continued to play an important role in equipping and training young people with practical ICT skills while creating opportunities for growth within the ecosystem.

As part of this collaboration, selected winners from BenueTech Pitch Friday will receive infrastructure support, mentorship, and strategic guidance from Skyhub Nigeria as they continue building and refining their startups beyond the competition stage.

Pitch Friday is not merely an awards giving ceremony. It is empowerment in motion and development in progress, designed to connect founders with the visibility, support, mentorship, and opportunities needed to grow sustainable solutions.

We are grateful to Skyhub Nigeria for believing in that vision and contributing meaningfully to the development of innovation in Benue.

When we say every startup that pitches at Pitch Friday walks away with more than feedback, Hub 17 is the reason why. Hub 17 Innovation Space is a Benue-based startup acceleration partner that has made one of the most powerful commitments in the history of this programme, enrolling all 5 pitching startups into their acceleration programme, regardless of who wins. Not the top two. Not the winner alone. Every single founder who steps on that stage on Friday gets access to structured support, mentorship, and the kind of ecosystem backing that most early-stage startups in this region have never had. That decision says everything about what Hub 17 believes in. They are not here to pick favourites. They are here to build a pipeline. In a startup ecosystem as young and as hungry as Benue's, that kind of institutional commitment changes trajectories. Hub 17's partnership with Pitch Friday is a signal to every founder in that room that the support does not end when the pitches do, it is only just beginning.

BenueTech Pitch Friday would not have become the success it was without the leadership, vision, and relentless commitment of the President of BenueTech, Tersoo Hulugh.

What many people witnessed on Friday was more than an event. It was the result of intentional planning, ecosystem building, difficult conversations, countless meetings, and the determination to create opportunities for founders and innovators in Benue.

In a space where many complain about the absence of platforms, he chose to build one. From concept to ex*****on, his belief in the potential of the Benue tech ecosystem helped shape Pitch Friday into a platform capable of giving startups visibility, access, mentorship, and momentum.

Thank you for leading from the front and for believing that innovation can thrive in the Benue Valley. The impact of this work will speak for itself in the years to come.

Pitch Friday is about more than one event, it is about building an ecosystem that lasts. That is exactly why the partnership with AI Campus Benue means so much. North-Central Nigeria's first purpose-built AI innovation ecosystem, AI Campus Benue is coming to Makurdi with a singular mission: to create access to world-class AI education and professional infrastructure, and to make sure that founders, students, professionals, and entrepreneurs in Benue State no longer have to travel to Lagos or Abuja to access the tools and training they deserve.

Under one roof, AI Campus is building an AI Training Institute, coworking spaces, private offices, conference facilities, and a campus restaurant, a full ecosystem designed for the next generation of builders to think, learn, and create without leaving home. Their vision is to train over 5,000 students annually and become the most impactful AI-focused campus in the North-Central zone by 2028. For an organisation with that kind of ambition to partner with Pitch Friday at Season 1, Episode 1 is not a coincidence, it is alignment.

AI Campus Benue believes in the same thing BenueTech Foundation believes in: that the talent is already here, and what it needs is infrastructure, community, and the right room to grow in.

Pitch Friday is powered by Maxify Tickets, and that choice is deliberate. Maxify Tickets is a modern event management platform built right here, by a BenueTech founder, and it is exactly the kind of homegrown tech success story that Pitch Friday exists to create more of. Trusted by universities, churches, NGOs, government agencies, and event teams across the United States, Africa, Canada, and Europe, Maxify Tickets delivers fast QR-based check-in, real-time analytics, automated guest reminders, and seamless paid ticketing, everything an event team needs to run with precision and professionalism. The fact that 100 guests will walk through the doors of Window on America on Friday and be checked in instantly, with zero chaos and full accountability, is not just good logistics, it is proof of concept. A Benue-built product, handling a Benue event, in front of a room full of people who needed to see exactly that. Powered by Maxify Global and built by one of our own, Maxify Tickets is not just a platform we are using, it is part of the story we are telling.

A strong innovation ecosystem is built not only by founders, but also by experienced voices willing to guide, question, challenge, and support bold ideas.

We are deeply grateful to our judges, Tamen Kuma and Tersoo Abatyough, for their time, insight, and contribution to the success of BenueTech Pitch Friday Season 1 Episode 1. Their thoughtful feedback, industry perspective, and engagement helped shape meaningful conversations around innovation, scalability, and startup growth.

We also sincerely appreciate Tim Uzua and Connor Cofoid, who, although unable to join us physically, supported the initiative and contributed to the vision behind this platform.

Beyond selecting winners, our judges contributed to what truly matters, helping founders think bigger, refine their ideas, and build solutions capable of lasting impact.

Thank you for believing in innovation in the Benue Valley.
