Honesty Godwin, a young Nigerian man, has been hailed on social media for building a foldable electric wheelchair.

Honesty had taken to LinkedIn to show off his creation which he said was made with materials sourced locally.

The young innovator said he learnt many things afresh while building the wheelchair and revealed he did it from scratch.

In the clip he attached, Honesty was filmed test-running the wheelchair himself. He unfolded it by dragging the backrest upward. He then locked it in place by pushing two knobs at the median.
