Smart Nigerian builds "small" aeroplane

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man, Hafizh Husssaini, gained media attention with his electrical skill as he built a miniature aeroplane that could pass off as a drone.

It was gathered that the young man, who is a student of Kano State University, dreams of one day becoming a pilot.

Another Nigerian built drone

In other news, a 20-year-old Nigerian man, Rejoice Oghenero, built an unmanned aircraft (drone) from locally sourced materials. He works from a store he calls his factory.

The young man could be seen filing the body of one of the aircraft to make it smooth as he coated it with paints.
