"I congratulate the young boy and rejoice with him on this achievement. He has carved his name on the global map at such a young age. Master Odumuboni is said to have creatively presented a unique and truly inspirational idea of a waste compactor vehicle (converter),
with the concept of helping countries, especially African communities, in food production and ensuring a clean environment. His story, therefore, reinforces my ever-consistent message on the overwhelming importance of education, especially at the basic level."
