A 200 level student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Usman Dalhatu, has transformed his emergency ventilator idea into a portable E-vent automatic ventilator.
Recall that the student of mechanical engineering became a social media sensation when he partnered with other innovators to build a locally made ventilator that was present to Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe state.
Usman has now done it again by updating his invention as Nigeria battles to end the deadly coronavirus.

While receiving the genius trio, the governor of the state, Yahaya, praised them and said he would assist them to get a patent for the work.
The governor also said that the secretary to the state government and the commissioner of science, technology, and innovation will both work with the presidential task force on Covid-19 to make the young engineers known.
Muhammad also spoke about how the state is putting together a plan to showcase innovators like them from Gombe to the world.
The reception the engineers had was made known in a statement by Ismalla Uba Misilli, the senior special assistant on media and publicity to the governor.
