Ijodo

Recently updated on May 2nd, 2018 at 01:46 am

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.

The tractor is designed with different attachments to cover a variety of farm jobs.

For many, agriculture is still manual in Nigeria because of the high cost of farm machinery.

Some Ijodo tractors have been sold, but the engineer is looking for more investment.

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.”
