Tosin said they need help for their invention to be mass-produced for use.
The young man's invention is timely in a country where electricity is one of the major problems facing the populace.
A lot of Nigerians have come up with inventions that could be improved on for the good of the country, but many of them have not been given due attention by appropriate agencies.
