Meet the Teenage Geniuses Behind Nigeria’s First Homemade Electric Car

Meet the Teenage Geniuses Behind Nigeria’s First Homemade Electric Car

Fifteen brilliant SS3 students from Brilliant Footsteps Academy in Sokoto, Nigeria, have achieved something incredible. They’ve designed, engineered, and assembled a fully functional electric car, dubbed BMT 1.0, entirely from scratch.

This talented group of 10 girls and 5 boys worked tirelessly to bring their vision to life, with minimal guidance. Their hard work paid off, and the result is a car that can run up to 30km on a single 3-4 hour charge, powered by a Battery Management System.

Dr. Shadi Sabeh, the school’s proprietor, proudly notes, “This isn’t just a project. It’s a message. African innovation is alive, and it starts in our classrooms.”

Their achievement has garnered national attention, showcasing Nigeria’s youth as leaders in Africa’s tech future. Let’s amplify their story and inspire others. Share this post and help these talented students reach greater heights.

2025 WORLD YOUTH SKILLS DAY CELEBRATION’S SPEECH BY: COMR. SULAIMAN ABDULFATAI, President HANDSKILLS ENTREPRENEURSHIP INITIATIVE FOR COMMUNITY

“Your Excellency, Hon. Commissioner for Youth Development, Amb. Ndanusa Sheu, distinguished guests, esteemed leaders, and fellow youths, I urge Nigerian youths to venture into skills entrepreneurship as a pathway to self-reliance and legitimate wealth creation.

The more creative you are, the higher your chances of success. It’s time to shift our focus from relying on others for handouts to empowering ourselves. We should seek wisdom and progress from our leaders, not just financial favors.

Given the current state of our nation, it’s crucial that we take charge of our own future and that of the next generation. I appreciate your presence here today, sir. We request the Kwara State government’s support in promoting the importance of hand skills among our youth, who often view them as inferior.

I recall a Corps member who shunned skills due to his father’s 45-year experience as a radio mechanic without building a prosperous business or securing a pension. This is what our organization aims to change – we provide products, markets, patronage, assistance, information, and connections to uplift our members.

I also plead with Kwara State government under the leadership of His Excellence Alh. Abdulrasaq Abdulrahman to care for young entrepreneurs the way they care for sports and entertainment. We need SME clinics in our states to nurture young entrepreneurs and create more jobs. It’s time for us to prioritize skills development and job creation.

I thank our patron, Hon. Justice S. O. Muhammad, Alh. Binta Abubakar Mora, GM Harmony FM, Kwara Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture, and all our members for their unwavering support.

The Time for Nigerian Institutions to Lead by Example is Now

The Time for Nigerian Institutions to Lead by Example is Now

By Comr. Sulaiman Abdulfatai, CEO, Saolegend.com / President, Hand Skill Entrepreneurship Initiative for Community Development

As I reflect on the state of our nation, I’m often left wondering why our institutions seem to be competing with common Nigerians in businesses that don’t require any unique expertise or innovation. We’ve all seen it – Unilorin Bread, Kwarapoly water, and other similar ventures that, while entrepreneurial, don’t necessarily showcase the potential of our institutions.

It’s high time our institutions focused on producing goods and services that make Nigerians look up to them. Instead of competing with small-scale businesses, our institutions should be at the forefront of innovation and production. Imagine if our universities and polytechnics started producing cutting-edge products like:

  • Generators
  • Solar panels and solar components
  • Electric bikes
  • Sewing machines
  • Raw materials like clothes, artificial leather, and shoe soles
  • Agricultural machinery and equipment
  • Water treatment systems
  • Medical equipment and devices
  • Renewable energy systems
  • Advanced textiles and fashion products

The list goes on. By focusing on these areas, our institutions can empower their students with valuable skills and knowledge, improve their mindset towards production, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s economic development.

Benefits of Institutional Innovation

By taking the lead in innovation and production, Nigerian institutions can:

  • Enhance their reputation and credibility
  • Foster innovation and entrepreneurship
  • Contribute to the nation’s economic growth
  • Empower students with valuable skills and knowledge
  • Improve the quality of life for Nigerians
  • Attract foreign investment and partnerships
  • Develop a culture of innovation and excellence

A Call to Action

I propose that each institution identifies a product or service that meets the needs of its community and starts producing it. This approach will not only benefit the community but also provide students with hands-on experience and practical skills.

Potential Products by Institution Type

  • Universities:
    • Advanced medical equipment
    • Renewable energy systems
    • High-tech agricultural machinery
  • Polytechnics:
    • Solar panels and solar components
    • Electric bikes
    • Water treatment systems
  • Colleges of Education:
    • Educational technology products
    • Innovative teaching aids
    • Special needs equipment

The Future is in Our Hands

It’s time for Nigerian institutions to take the lead and set an example for others to follow. Let’s work together to create a future where our institutions are synonymous with innovation, entrepreneurship, and excellence. The time for change is now – let’s seize it!

Join the Conversation

What do you think Nigerian institutions should focus on producing? Share your ideas and let’s work together to build a brighter future for our nation.

CAC LAUNCHES AI-POWERED REGISTRATION PORTAL TO REVOLUTIONIZE BUSINESS REGISTRATION IN NIGERIA

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has unveiled a new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered registration portal, marking a significant milestone in its transformative initiatives.

The CAC aims to process business registrations within 30 minutes, generating certificates and delivering them to customers’ emails, subject to real-time NIN verification. To address potential delays due to external validation from NIMC, the CAC has developed a contingency solution using AI-powered photo ID matching.

The Commission is also exploring partnerships with super agents, including the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), and has received over 100 requests from potential partners. Upcoming services include Two-Factor Authentication & OTP Verification for all transactions and a CAC Mobile App, expected to launch by the last quarter of this year.

To maintain quality service delivery, the CAC has reviewed certain service fees, effective August 1, 2025. The launch event featured goodwill messages from prominent stakeholders, including the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Port Harcourt Branch, and technical support from the CAC team to resolve customer complaints.

This development is poised to significantly improve the business registration process in Nigeria, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
