Gabriel Agile who is from Benue state said his father enrolled in a technical college where he acquired some skills.
His words:
“My parents enrolled me into apprenticeship ever since when I was eight where I started learning how to fix generators and electrical installations. Then my dad later sent me to a technical school in Nasarawa state where I learned more about electrical installations. After college, I wanted to further more on electrical engineering, but I wasn’t given admission in that very course, but I was given physics. Along the line. I fell in love with the course, and it sharpened me better, so I started thinking of how to build an energy source that would be eco-friendly and would give a steady supply for consumption. And with the grace of God. I started making effort, which is just the result you see some days ago.”
Agile said his dream is to take his innovation to the next level, noting that he would soon graduate from school.
His words:
“By the Grace of God. I will soon be a Graduate of Bsc Physics. My External Defense is next week Monday 25/11/2024. That’s why I said soon. I carefully learn during my Industrial attachment and I learn online as well. And I would love to take it to greater heights with any company that is able to help to grow this innovation.”
Boy builds prototype of filling station
In a related story, TheTalk.NG reported that a Nigerian boy went viral after his innovation surfaced online.
The boy built a prototype filling station that looked so beautiful that people praised him.
When asked to operate the prototype filling station, he took one of the pumps and pumped liquid out.
