The trio, Abdulrahoof Sarafadeen, Abdulkadir Abeebulahi and Abdulwasiu Ahmed, worked together to build a rocket prototype, a Quadcopter, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
The rocket has the capacity to carry payloads outside the atmosphere into the space while the Quadcopter and the UAV were built for surveillance, aerial photography and obstacle avoidance.
According to them, the inventions were locally produced with material wastes due to paucity of funds. "We used locally sourced materials to build all these machines; we indeed turned wastes to wealth," Sarafadeen told The Guardian
"But we are assuring Nigerians of our potentials beyond what we had showed them today if we have sponsors." Sarafadeen urged the Federal Government to make grants available for researches like theirs, instead of depending on grants from the United States.
At the same event, a final year student of the College of Pure and Applied Sciences, Gideon Awojobi, unveiled an electrical device that prevents power surges.
