'Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink' is a common saying which holds true in most parts of the world because although the earth is covered by 70 per cent water, most of it is not potable and therefore needs to be treated.
.
In finding a cost-effective solution to the problem, some students of TCNN Staff Secondary School, Jos, Plateau State, came up with a water treatment device.
.
They spoke with Vanguard Learning at the University of Lagos during the 9th edition of the annual Nigerian Secondary Schools Science Fair and Quiz Competition organised by Genius Illumina where they exhibited the device.
.
According to the students – Benjamin Yusuf, Ivoren Iyuwa and Joy Anum, they came up with the device to help meet the needs of the poor majority who have no access to potable water.
Very inspiring one. Such things have to continue for Nigeria to be a safe place to live in. I support this wholeheartedly.
If more of this is done, Nigerians won't fall sick all the time. This is a very wonderful initiative coming from the organisers.
