It was an exciting moment recently at the annual gathering of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) conference in Akure Ondo state, when the a team of Mechanical Engineering students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) showcased an electric, eco-friendly car made by them.
The car named DOVE PI, was the product of a project initiated by Olusanya Olukoya, now a graduate of Mechanical Engineering. It was first unveiled recently at an exhibition organised by Designed for Zero Vehicle Emission (DOVE) Initiative at the Julius Berger Hall of the university
The conference supported by Star Beer had series of activities from the plenary sessions, young engineer programme, presidential cocktail, cultural night, concurrent session and more.
The rare conference was well attended by top dignitaries in Nigeria as well as engineers who trouped in en-masse to learn more about the business and to examine avenues through which infrastructure can be improved to catalyse national growth and economic development.
Guests present at the conference included President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, Aare Afe Babalola and several others.
