"I finally made my plane to fly, after so many years of trying. I borrowed Lipo battery from Victor Moses. I still need one for myself though, it's 15k. #Taohan."

Nigerians were impressed and they took to the comment section to share their thoughts.

Speaking with Legit.ng, Taofiq said:

"The remote-controlled aircraft is under the category of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). It is controlled with a radio transmitter.

"The one made is a fixed-wing aircraft, unlike rotorcrafts such as drones and helicopters.

Therefore, it was very tough before I was able to come up with that through the help of a friend who supported me with kits and materials for the project."
