🏆 2026 UIU Innovation Challenge Winners: Project Nwanne! 💚

Ucheoma Okoma, Jane Ijeoma Onuoha, Lisa Ijeamaka Nnaji and Blossom Onunekwu had never met before Convention. In Chicago, they came together, formed a team, and created a powerful solution to a challenge many of us in the diaspora understand: security and logistics when traveling home, and for some, the concerns that have kept them from going home at all.

They turned a new connection into collaboration, an idea into a pitch, and a shared experience into innovation.

Their story captures exactly what we hoped this Challenge would create: connection, creativity, collaboration, and solutions that matter.

Congratulations to Project Nwanne! 🏆🇳🇬

This is proof of what happens when Igbo excellence meets purpose and collaboration. 💚
