Young Nigerian man builds sports car in the space of 4 years
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a plant science graduate had built a sports car himself.
The man revealed that he spent a total number of four years concluding the project. During his National Youth Service Crops programme, he was able to save 80% of his allowance to fund car production.
With a strong passion for machines, he decided that his first car will be the one built with his hands. Speaking about his challenges as an engineer, he said:
“The first one is money, I couldn't get sponsors, the second is tools and the third is people perspective, what they say about the project but I didn't allow those things to weigh me down.”
