Nigerian engineer Timothy Addigi Terfa designs and builds a tractor he named ‘Ijodo’, which is 100% Nigerian, with a team of skilled individuals.

He has called the tractor Ijodo, meaning labour in the Tiv language.

Mr Terfa wants to inspire others:

“My greatest desire is that someone out there will be encouraged and motivated to do something with the ideas they have to make Nigeria better.”
