A graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology who studied Computer Science/Engineering and batch C corper built a drone that flew for 20 minutes.
Osun State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Titi Laoye-Tomori, watched in
admiration how the drone he built
took off and carried out surveillance of the parade ground at the
Permanent Orientation Camp of the National Youth Service Corps on
Monday. She was impressed and urged other youths to emulate him.
Below is the picture of Olaolu Ayoola, the guy that built the drone.
Ayoola told Punch in an interview that his love for aeronautics drove him into building the device.
According to him, apart from military use, the drone is also useful in hoisting flags as well as monitoring ongoing activities in large farms.
He said, “This type of drone, if fully developed, can be used by farmers. You can deploy it to fly round a farm of about 20 hectares and you will monitor what is going on.
“It can also be used to monitor traffic situation and flooded areas. I spent over N20,000 to build it, but I can do something with a bigger capacity and which will stay for hours on air if fund is available.”
