NITDA SCHOLAR AT BAZE UNIVERSITY

On the 16th of September 2022, the National Information, Technology and Development Agency (NITDA), a Parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy offered a full scholarship to an indigent Nigerian youth, named Isah Barde Auwal (in white T-shirt). Isah who invented a robot that duplicates human body movements became popular when he posted a video of this invention on the internet and was scouted by NITDA. The scholarship covers full tuition, accommodation and living expenses for an undergraduate programme in Computer Engineering at Baze University. Isah is a teenager from Kano and has been an inspiration with his inventions. He started designing Tractors and Excavators since childhood before his new passion in robotics.
