A 19years old Emeka Nelson a student of community secondary school Umuorbu Awka in Anambra south East Nigeria has proffered a solution to disposal of waste and most interestingly creating wealth in the process.

His innovation “a waste to wealth machine” recycles non- biodegradable wastes like polythene, plastic etcetera.

The machine converts these waste to refineable oil from which petrol kerosene and diesel can be got.

Emeka Nelson is one among several other students from across Nigeria who participated in the 2015 edition of the NTA ETV art, science and technology exhibition.

Also worth noting are the designs and prototypes of cars, vans and many other produce by other students in the exhibition.

Brilliant young minds as Emeka Nelson’s are what our communities needs and should be promoted as the working principles of his machine leaves us only with useful bye-products from which interlocks for construction purposes can be made.
