“I have been inventing things since 1971, and I have 78 inventions. However, none of my inventions took so much time for research like the construction of the stove that uses water to produce heat energy. I spent three years on that research and I wondered why there was no lightning and thunder in the dry season.”
It is worth mentioning that Nigeria has recently witnessed the emergence of skilled inventors who have developed innovative gadgets to assist people.
One such individual is Yusuf Shamsudeen, a 30-year-old Chemistry graduate from Kano State University of Science and Technology, KUST, Wudil. Shamsudeen’s remarkable invention includes a water-powered stove.
