  • UNIZIK students make mini bus from local materials (See photos)

    Wow, I think this is the most lucrative thing I’d ever seen by Nigerians students. It’s been working and we’re heading they; technology will soon be in our backyards. But, will the Nigerian administration support and promote this one or will it be snubbed as others?

    Seven final-year engineering students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, designed and constructed a mini bus from scratch with locally sourced materials made specially to suit Nigeria’s topography and climatic condition.

    “The bus was constructed from start to finish at the University’s workshop, using all necessary design software and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. We constructed the chassis, down to every single part of the mini bus,” said Callistus Ezeigwe, one of the seven. 

    The group, known as the Autozik Group, was made up of six males and a female including  Callistus Ezeigwe, Victor Obinani, Ifeanyi Ezeanolue, Ogbu Ikenna, Fidelis Ominigbo, Nnamdi Nwobodo and Chinaza Okoro, was supervised by the then Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, Dr. C.H. Achebe.

    “We made the mini bus using mere hand tools. This means we did all of the constructions and folding, with our hands, since the university could not provide us with ground equipment, as used in most automobile companies,” said Ezeugwu. 

    The mini bus which took about five months to complete, has a beautiful finishing so that people find it difficult to believe it was made in Nigeria.
