A member of the National Youth Service Corps, Mr. Olaolu
Ayoola, has said that the drones he manufactured are
capable of carrying out reconnaissance of the Nigeria’s
porous boarders.
Ayoola, a graduate of Computer Science, from the Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, who is
serving in a secondary school in Osun State, told our
correspondent in an interview on Monday that his drone
could assist the military to monitor the kind of persons
and activities going on at Nigeria borders.
According to him, the drones which are manufactured and
fitted with camera with the capacity for live recording can
be deployed and officials would be watching event as they
are happening on the ground.
Ayoola, who is an indigene of Ogbomoso in Oyo State, said
the massive killings and willful destruction of property by
the insurgent could be tackled with technology backed up
by military personnel and by addressing the cause of the
crisis.
He said, “It is difficult, if not impossible to have our
borders covered with close circuit television therefore
drones such as this can be programmed to patrol our
borders independently and notify security agents whenever
it detects strange activities such as illegal immigrations,
human trafficking at our borders. This will most certainly
be more effective in terms of results and cost when it is
combined with the existing infrastructures and personnel.
“This one can fly as high as 200m and it can stay in the
air for 20 minutes. The beauty of it is that it can be
improved upon to fly higher and stay longer and even with
greater capabilities.
“There is no limit to how far we can push it. I just think the
Nigerian Government has not been exploring the potentials
in this nation. I think the government and the private
sector should invest into technologies like this and many
others the Nigerian youths come up with.
“This will develop our nation’s Science and Technology,
reducing our dependency on foreign countries. This will
also lead to diversification, reducing our dependency on
oil.”
The corps member said that his drones could also be used
to monitor the nation’s pipelines adding that this would
ensure that security agencies were notified promptly
anytime vandals were about breaking the pipes to ship on
oil.
The young graduate, who said that the drones could be
useful in many more ways stated that farmers could use
them to monitor happening on their farms.
He explained that drones could be deployed in large
expanse of farm to know what was happening at every
point and move to address the issues on time.
