Brief details about 70-year-old Mallam Usman Hadi
Hadi Usman was born in 1953 in Azare town of Bauchi state but grew up in Gombe, having relocated there in 1955 with his father, Alhaji Shehu Azare, a religious scholar who migrated with his family.
The self-taught ‘engineer’ has singlehandedly built a helicopter, radio station, and water-powered stove, among several others, in the past 47 years.

He said:
"So I grew up in Gombe and have lived all my life here from our arrival when I was two years to date. I am about to clock 70 years."
When asked how he found himself as an inventor, Malam Usman said:
"My journey as an inventor started in 1971, when I started working as a technician for Vespa motorcycle here in Jekadafari and later relocated to Sabon Layi area of the metropolis.
"It was while I was working as Vespa technician that I created a mini two-seat helicopter. Unfortunately, it crashed during test running and my father discouraged me from continuing with the project."
