The 29-year-old, a resident and indigene of Gombe state, told The Punch that he believes his hard work if given the necessary resources and backing, has the potential to revolutionise the country's aerial defence system.
He noted that the product could be further developed and incorporated into larger and more sophisticated military systems, potentially enhancing discoveries and inventions in areas like propulsion systems, artificial intelligence, and material science.
After seven years of failed attempts to gain admission to the country’s prestigious military school, Anas is now working as a fashion designer.
“I applied for NDA 64RC 2012, 65RC 2013, 66RC 2014, and 67RC 2015, then DSSC 26 (Army) 2022, DSSC Air Force 2023, and DSSC 28 Army 2024,” he listed the years he had tried his luck to break into the highly competitive military school
Anas, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Federal University, Kashere, Gombe state, disclosed that he aspires to become an ordnance officer in the military.
He stated:
“One of my intentions is to build rockets that can reach an altitude of more than 100km within a couple of years as a thoroughly trained local military personnel. The rocket’s military capabilities contribute to enhancing national security by providing a platform for deploying reconnaissance satellites, communication networks, and other strategic assets.”
