Students of Brilliant Footsteps International Academy in Sokoto State have built an electric vehicle from the scratch.

The breakthrough by secondary school students places Northern Nigeria on the forefront of grassroots innovation.

The electric vehicle, dubbed BMT 1.0, was developed by Senior Secondary School III students as their final graduation project.

Entirely conceived, designed, and assembled by the students, the BMT 1.0 represents a bold stride toward sustainable technology.

The students received critical technical guidance from Maglush Electrical Company, which acted as consultants throughout the engineering and manufacturing process.

Unveiling the car, the proprietor and general manager of the academy, Dr. Shadi Sabeh, praised the studentsfor their ingenuity.

According to him, “this is not just a project, but a message. It proves that with the right mindset and support, our youth can reshape the narrative of innovation in Africa.”

The BMT 1.0 is powered by a battery management system (BMS), which requires three to four hours of charging and offers a range of up to 30 kilometres per full charge. It combines three core engineering systems: mechanical framework, electrical configuration, and body design.

Master Ahmed Shadi, the project team leader, explained that, “15 students collaborated to bring the vision to life. Each member contributed to specific technical areas ranging from wiring and chassis fabrication to power integration and software testing.”

One of the prominent contributors, Aisha Ahmed, emphasised the broader potential of the project. “If nurtured and improved, this could drastically cut transport costs, reduce environmental damage, and help curb Nigeria’s dependence on imported vehicles,” she said.

Ahmed stressed the growing urgency for Africa to embrace green technologies. She described the BMT 1.0 as a symbol of what’s possible when innovation is locally driven and environmentally conscious.

The car’s unveiling has sparked national attention, drawing praise from education stakeholders, environmentalists and policymakers.

Many argued that the feat underlines the need for urgent investment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), at the grassroots level.
