A talented Nigerian man, Mustapha Gajibo, who dropped out of the University Of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), because he was given admission to study a course he doesn’t have an interest in, has built electric cars and tricycles in Borno.
Mustapha Gajibo started creating and building electric cars, tricycles, and generators which he does with local manpower since 2017 and he has attracted the attention of the Borno state governor, Babagana Zulum.
He dropped out of the University of Maiduguri in 2015 after getting to the 300 level because he was given General Agriculture instead of Electrical Engineering which he so badly wanted.
The young engineer said his electric vehicles are locally made. The car can travel at least 100 to 150 kilometers before requiring a recharge.
Gajibo’s words: “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.
“People buy our cars and Keke Gajibo says his products have attracted buys in Nigeria. According to him, many of his cars and tricycles popularly called Keke have been put to commercial use by those who buy them.
“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.”
Recently, Gajibo visited the Borno state Government House where he presented the cars to Governor Babagana Zulum. The governor was said to have been greatly impressed.
