“Very amazing. Wow.

“I hope the concerned government MDAs can improve on it and produce it on larger scale for sale in Nigeria and export. Of course, the trademark should be for the inventor.

“God bless Nigeria.”

@papaanache said:

“Why has the Nigerian elites not harness this man’s potential? We don’t value talent in Nigeria and it’s very bad. It’s not even about the government, even the rich people could invest in this pure talent. It’s clearly going to be profitable and will put Nigeria in a higher pedes.”

@MahmoodSalisu said:

“With just small funding, the likes of mallam Hadi would have done wonders and become an inspiration to many like minds to emulate him. But no, we will rather be stealing public funds and building houses in Dubai.”

Hadi Usman wants to teach people what he knows

In an interview with NTA News, Hadi stated that his desire is to transfer his innovative knowledge to the younger generation who have the same fire as his – the fire to create things and bring solutions to problems.
