Three students of the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the Kwara State University, Malete, have fabricated prototype equipment, which if developed, could be used to wage war against Boko Haram insurgents.

The prototype equipment are rocket, quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle and fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle, fabricated by Abdulwasiu Ahmed, Abdulkadir Habeebellah and Abdulrauf Sarafadeen..
Ahmed, in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the university’s 5thundergraduate research day on Wednesday, said the rocket and the fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle could be used for bombing and other military operations.

He stated that the quadcopter UAV could be used for aerial photography, surveillance, event recordings and examination.

He added that it could be used as security device to support security guards in banks, companies, government and organisation’s buildings as well as in residential houses.

Ahmed appealed to the Federal Government, corporate organisations, donor agencies and other stakeholders to support them and other young researchers in their efforts to innovate technologies that could transform Nigeria.

The Vice Chancellor of KWASU, Prof. AbdulRasheed Na’Allah, and Director, Centre for Undergraduate Research, Dr. Grace Abolaji, emphasised the importance of research for national advancement.
Na’Allah, who was represented by his coordinator on Research and Industry, Prof. Adebayo Oladimeji, urged tertiary institutions to engage in researches that would solve societal problems.

He stated that the quality of a university was measured by its research output, adding that research was generally more highly regarded than teaching, according to him, perhaps because it is easier to measure.

“Research is generally better rewarded, for example by promotion, because its results are usually more tangible.

“It is our duty as academics to be innovative and to generate new knowledge. It is our mandate as academics to develop methods of making new and old knowledge beneficial to the present and future generations,” Na’Allah said.

Good one from Nigerians.. Good People, Great Nation.

Maybe it can work and blast the troll named Omonnakoda off nairaland once and for all. He patrols every thread and stirs up tribalism in the most funny ways possible. He is a nobody and has no identity. He is so afraid of telling others about himself for fear that his emptiness be seen and known. Im sure Omonnakoda is planning on how to derail this thread now. Be warned...There is now a weapon that can get you down! Omonnakoda is an ethnic threat to ALL NIGERIANS!

Good development

Good News.

"...which if developed, could be used to wage war against Boko Haram insurgents"



By the time they will finish developing it, boko haram will be a thing of the past. Well kudos to the students shaa.

There Is potential in Nigeria and Nigerians . The question is how do we harness and tap into it. May God help them locate sponsors, even if the government fails to come to their support

Nice one...









space booked

Pix please
That's the only language I understand now
And besides, these are hausa guys oh , please government don't fund this project cos they will definitely dash it to their boko haram brothers.

Hmmmmm but this is weird coming from my northern brothers..... Just thinking with my empty skul

Nigeria as a country was built on wrong foundation, even the British, US knew that Nigeria will break up one day. UK has 4 countries in it, eg Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Island, then ask yourself why they cannot be one country like Nigeria, USA has all it states operating as a semi independent country, immigration law in Texas is not the same with California, China has Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Macau as part of China which are all semi independent, without confederation in Nigeria there will be no peace, Nigeria need to go back to Aburi peace accord, Nigeria will never be a progressive country because Nigeria is made up of irreconcilable entities that cannot align, Nigeria suppose to have 4 countries eg Arewa, Biafra, Midland, Oduduwa under confederation just like UK, China, Netherlands etc, without this Nigeria will never know peace.

Interesting... Where did they test it to confirm that it can be effectively used against boko haram? The one that the Nigerian airforce manufactured has not finished working against boko haram,na the one wey students wey still dey do theory for school manufacture,want come finish boko haram? Aint tryna discourage them but let's be real;you don't just come out in public to make such spurious claims. Whatever is worth doing,is worth doing well.

hmmmmmm nice one i hope this is really is true

But my problem when Naija instutition says they build a prototype , when you see the picture, You will just laugh your ass out like do you guys think we are joking here?

Checkout, abokis reppin... nobody wan carry last for naija again

Now they will say they're the only one that can manufacture weapons [our dear Ibos I hail o] Carry on my dear Kwarans we are behind you
