world’s smallest global positioning system (GPS) tracking device prototype,
measuring 22.93 x 11.92mm.

potential of our young people,” Tinubu said.

just a personal achievement but a national pride. It demonstrates that with the
right support and encouragement, Nigerian youth can lead the world in
innovation and technology.”
The president emphasised the importance of nurturing such
talent, adding that the young inventor’s success story should inspire the
creation of an enabling environment for creativity to thrive.
“We must continue to invest in our youth, providing them
with the resources and opportunities they need to turn their ideas into
reality,” he added.
“Oluwatobi’s success story should inspire us all to foster
an environment where creativity and innovation can flourish.”
