Let 'em.We are the reason why we are where we are today.change and transformation is not the party or candidate, it is us

Is it not funny that you support this and allude to an extent this commendable, yet condemn the same transformation that does not meet up to the status quo of the modern time... Smh @ hypocrisy.

Mister man, You've said nothing...The thread is about improvised automobile irrespective of the shape. So what's your point?

First of all the car and it's name sucks. 2ndly you are not the first university in Nigeria to make a moving object that you call car. See a real car made my fellow Nigerian students from Covenant University here:

https://www.nairaland.com/1935508/covenant-university-students-build-cars

Stop advertising your ignorance, that vehicle is not the first car to be produced in ABU. There have been older designs that you don't know about. ABU have been designing and producing locally made. Nigerian vehicles since the 1990s long before your covenant university came into existence.

This one na "birdbug"

Looks like a cross breed of a ladybird and a bug..

But anyhow naija, carry go, we are going to race in this thang!!

Naija's F1 baby, whohooo!!!

Why are these locally made cars always ugly. Can't they make beautiful ones ?

This is an insult and assault on common sense and engineering at large.

Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.

JASOLUTION:
ABU wasn't the first University to execute such project in Nigeria!!!! Some of the 2008 graduates of Mechanical Engineering of Federal University of Technology Overview,FUTO executed the project. Whereby of locally manufactured cars were produced as a final year project. After then, the subsequent set improved on the pioneer project in FUTO.

The record of the first car to be produced by a Nigerian University still goes to ABU in the early 1990s during the days of Centre for Automotive Design (CAD). it was a federal goverment funded project and the vehicles were labeled CAD1, CAD2, CAD3, etc.

In the late 1980s, the federal goverment selected one University (ABU Zaria) and one polytechnich (YabaTech Lagos) as the pilot institutions for the design and production of automobile vehicles in Nigeria.

I wonder where your 2008 FUTO guys were in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Nigerians never appreciate or encourage people,the change starts from us APC

At this stage we should be celebrating those who develop cars that are distinguished because they run on a particular form of alternative energy, such as electricity, biofuels, natural gas, solar, etc... not just 'building a car' which ostensibly, runs on petrol. The world has moved beyond mere building of a car. Now it's about environmental sustainability and the use of renewable energy.

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria break the record as being the first Nigerian university to produce home made cars. The cars were commissioned this Friday (13-3-2015) at around 4pm this evening.
The cars were manufactured as a collaboration between the faculty of engineering (mechanical engineering) and shell Nigeria, the cars were named as ABUCAR 1 & ABUCAR 2.

Not impressed by this POS at all.

It's actually quite sad.

imoh4king:


he is really stupid, if foreigners invited him over and he rejected because he loves his country. Well, let him embrace his Patriotism and simultaneously embrace poverty.....

That poster is a delirious liar.

Shameless university. They should be closed down. Indiscipline and wanton disregard of facts.

covenant university

Ahmadabd:
who are d first

Lol, looks like one of the characters from the animated movie "Cars"

That's the Nigerian problem - we all want to make the first or the biggest.
Why not just make an engine, make a new brake technology. Improve on existing electronic stability program of cars, it wouldn't make as much noise but it will be real progress!

emperorizzy:
Those peeps made cars in the 18th century. This is 2015, we ought to do better. The problem is practicals and research, we dont do any of the 2 extensively, sad.

try, they should be ashamed

What is this? Even Henry Ford will turn in his grave! We should stop wasting our time and energy. This is not a car period.

lonelydora:
Those people standing there, call this match box car? More like a GEJ production.

Abu will forever be remembered for this and you will forever be remembered for

Your stupidity I guess...

tobiadebolas:
covenant university

If ABU designed and produced the first locally made car in Nigeria as far back as the early 1990s, how could covenant that was not yet in existence be the first.

The earlier designs of cars in ABU are much older than that secondary school called covenant.

not impressive at this 21 century with all modern equipment and technology
the combination of my
Mechanics and welder with my painter can do better NONSENSE CAR SHAME ON YOU SHELL AND UNIVERSITY ENG DEPARTMENT

NOT A GOOD NEWS

Car no get door, na window the driver climb enter?

This is not a car. This is a go kart

Federal University of Technology,Owerri FUTO has done something better than these since 2006.
