School is not a scam neither is it a the one and only test of ones brilliance as people can excel with or without formal education or a degree.
A 29-year-old man in Maiduguri, Borno state has proven this to be a fact by way of performing mechanical wonders despite being a University dropout.
Mustapha Gajibo builds electric cars, tricycles (Keke Napep) and also converts car engines into generating sets.
Some may think the young man was able to build such innovations because he graduated from a top-notch institution, but surprisingly, Gajibo dropped out of the University of Maiduguri in 2015.
He left the school while in his 3rd year because he realised that he was not studying what he loved. The young man has been given admission to study General Agriculture instead of Electrical Engineering that he wanted.
Speaking to Legit, the young engineer said his electric vehicles are locally made. The car can travel at least 100 to 150 kilometers before requiring a recharge.
“Yes all the electrification processes technical of these cars are done locally here in Maiduguri, Borno State capital to be precise, and am also proud to say that all the technicians involved in the project were locally sourced and trained,” he said.
“We have had so many interesting buyers, most especially, the electric tricycles and the city electric bus. So far, we have sold 15 tricycles and 7 buses to individuals which have already started generating revenues for them,” Gajibo explained.
