The 2026 edition of the Nigeria Prize for Science and Innovation has recorded an historic milestone, attracting a record-breaking 237 entries, the highest number of submissions since the Prize was established in 2004.

The prize is valued at USD $100,000 and remains arguably Africa’s most prestigious science award. The submissions were formally handed over to the Prize’s Advisory Board during a media briefing held in Lagos

This year's theme is “Innovations in ICT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Digital Technologies for Development.”

“In this fourth revolution, digital infrastructure is as foundational to our survival as electricity or water. For Nigeria, our economic sustainability depends on our ability to move beyond promising research and into undeniable innovation that delivers,” said Sophia Horsfall, NLNG’s General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development.
