Kogi-Born Unilorin Graduate Builds Automated Fish-Drying Machine

An ingenius graduate of the University Of Ilorin, Paul Olorunfemi from Kabba in Kogi State, has portrayed the good image of UNILORIN, Kogi State and Nigeria on global scene through his enviable talent in inventing a world class automated fish drying machine, which as at the time of this invention is the first of its kind in Nigeria as against the popular firewood-charcoal powered fish drying process.



When asked what inspired the invention, he said, he needed something that would make fish drying for commercial purpose less stressful and time efficient.

According to him, he is passionate about contributing his wealth of knowledge and innovative prowess to the Nigerian economy, by using his God-given talent to create jobs for the unemployed youths and graduates, thereby reducing the alarming rate of unemployment prevalent among the youths.
According to Paul, the journey to this invention was not with some level of failure, as several attempts were made before he arrived at what it is now, meeting international standard.

Speaking further on his innovative impact, he said his fish-drying machine can operate by itself and it is capable of drying fishes within few hours. The fish drying machine is a worthwhile invention as fish dried in it is highly hygienic, free from smoke and sand. It could also be used for meat etc.

Mr Olorunfemi revealed to our correspondence during a chat that he had also manufactured automated water pumping machine controller, gas cooker, automated incubator, theatre stage lamp and florescent for outdoor use.

He is using this medium to appeal to those in government, eminent and well-meaning Nigerians, technological companies and non government organizations to support his invention and vision in making Nigeria compete successfully with other countries, like China, America, Japan in terms of technological inventions and advancement.
