The man standing in front of an improvised jet in the picture is Durojaiye Kehinde Obasanjo. He is a native of Ijaye, Abeokuta in Ogun State. According to Durojaiye, building of moving objects can be dated back to his early childhood. Building the jet he is standing beside took him about six month to build due to paucity of funds.Ordinarily it would have taken three months.Virtually all the materials used in the construction of the jet was sourced locally. The jet is designed to move on the land, sea and in the air. Presently it can only move on land and sea. Funds he said is needed to make his dream of flying the jet is realized. The jet named 'The Pride of the Federal Republic of Nigeria' can indeed become the pride of the nation if well meaning Nigerians and Corporate bodies can come to the aids of this projects. Inventors like Durojaiye should be encouraged if Nigeria will grow technology wise.
