The Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic Zaria, Kaduna State says it would patent and commercialize the Solar Induction DC Cooker, other inventions and projects developed by its students during the National Polytechnics Engineering Competition.

Ibrahim Abubakar, the winner of the second position in the competition, developed a GSM-based home automation system.

Ms. Blessing-Eyibo Godwin came third by constructing a 200W Solar Induction DC Cooker.

Other projects developed by the students that featured at the competition include a poultry feather plucking machine, design, and construction of a solar based robotic grass-cutting machine among others.

Dr. Mohammed Kabir Abdullahi, Rector of the Institution, made the disclosure while receiving the students who won the second and third positions at the National Polytechnics Engineering Competition (OND category) which was held in Abuja.

Abdullahi who commended the students for the good outing, described the prizes won at the competition as heartwarming for the lecturers and institution.

He added that the institution would strengthen its collaboration with key stakeholders to patent the projects and inventions by the students for commercial production.

According to him, an organization has indicated its interest in a project developed by a student for the competition.

He, therefore, urged other students to emulate and align themselves with the winners of the competition stressing that the current realities in the labour market were on skills not certificates.

Earlier, Malam Mohammed-Sani Abdulkadir, Dean, Faculty of Engineering presented the students to the management of the institution.

Abdulkadir described the emergence of the school as second and third winner in the national competition as a credit to the institution as well as the North-West Geopolitical Zone which the school represents.

He noted that one of the purposes of the competition was for the students to develop something they can serve their immediate community.

He added that one of such projects developed by the students was a chicken de-feathering machine; some people within Zaria who were into the chicken business had developed an interest in the machine.

The Dean said the owners of the ‘chicken slaughter’ in Zaria said the machine would save them time, cost, and other logistics in their business.
