I am honoured
Days after his work trended, the Imo state government visited his workshop as a sign of honour. The delegate was led by Honourable Eric Uwakwete.
On his Facebook page, Agazue said he is so honoured by the attention he has received so far from his schoolmates, family and the government.
The young genius revealed that what bothered him so much was seeing people patronizing foreign products more than those made locally. He said he is on a mission to right the wrong with his skill.
Buy Nigerian products, grow the economy
The FUTO finalist appealed to people to patronize local builders more so that the nation's economy can grow.

Another Nigerian builder
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a video that went viral claimed that a Nigerian student of Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) built a car for his final year project.
A voice in the video asked the man if it was his final project. Afterwards, he said an effort would be made to send it to the Instagram blog for wide outreach.
In the clip, the automobile is named Merczy. The car has an intimidating wide front like an Escalade.
