Team Topez Farms have emerged overall winner of the Hult Prize University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) On Campus Challenge 2020 held on the 12th of November 2019 at the Offshore Technology Institute, University of Port Harcourt in Nigeria.

Team Topez Farms include the following persons: Tochi Opara-Eze, Preye Solomon, Theophilus Uviekugbere and Gibson Odoka.
