As a student in the University of Lagos, what prompted you and your partner to build this electric car?

We wanted to design an eco-friendly car and at the same time we wanted an energy efficient car. We looked at the situation in Nigeria, we know fuel (PMS) is getting scarcer daily and we thought about what to do. We also noticed that today, many countries of the world are moving away from fossil energy and reducing their carbon footprints. The environment is being destroyed due to emissions especially from the high usage of fossil fuel. These are the few reasons that prompted us to embark on this venture. We looked at various things such as reduction of our dependence on oil to investing in science and technology; this was how we came about an efficient electric car. This car can be powered even from your home.



How long have you been on this P1 (electric car) project?

The concept came up round February 2014 up to April same year. We had to call our friends and bearing in mind that we didn’t have money, we started by saving up money andstarted constructing the car round the month of May 2014. At a period we stopped constructingthe car due to paucity of funds but around 2015 we completed the car.We exhibited around August 2015 at Julius Berger hall. This is the time line… it took us about a year...http://itedgenews.com/2016/05/06/soon-will-say-goodbye-fossil-fuel/


“We wanted to show the world that we have the capacity of solving our own peculiar problems in Nigeria. We want to show the world that Nigerian youths can actually do this. We are using ourselves as a baseline to reach out.”



What about the Federal Government agencies, any kind of support from them?

We have not written to them but we are in touch with them. We believe that something positive will come out from our interaction with them. We also believe that this government is supporting research and development. We are very sure that we will get their endorsement. Our outlook to life is that of optimism.

Make sense.!

I wish them all the best.
