A Nigerian innovator, Oluwatobi Oyinlola, has stunned the global tech community with the development of the world’s smallest GPS tracking device prototype, measuring just 22.93mm by 11.92mm.
The groundbreaking innovation, which has potential applications across numerous industries—including security, transportation, logistics, and personal safety—has been hailed as a testament to Nigerian ingenuity and youth excellence on the global stage.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) congratulated Oyinlola in a statement, praising the young inventor for showcasing Nigeria’s immense talent and potential. “Congratulations, Oluwatobi, on this feat. You have just shown the world that Nigerian youth can!” the President declared.
The device’s ultra-compact size makes it ideal for discreet use in wearables, asset tracking, and advanced technological systems where size constraints are critical. Experts believe the prototype could lead to a new wave of miniaturized tracking solutions, bolstering efficiency in personal and commercial security sectors.
Oyinlola’s innovation comes at a time when Nigeria continues to push for greater investment in science, technology, and innovation as tools for economic growth and global competitiveness.
Further details regarding the commercial rollout or mass production of the device have not yet been released, but interest from global investors and tech firms is expected to surge in the coming weeks.
