President Goodluck Jonathan expressed delight over the creativity of a 25-year-old Nigerian, Jessica Matthews, who invented a power-generating football called SOCCKET ball on saturday.

Jessica, who is a co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Unchartedplay, was at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to present the ball which can generate three hours of light from 30 minutes of play.
She also presented an energy-generating skipping rope to the President.

While congratulating her on her creativity and innovativeness, Jonathan said he is impressed that Matthews, who trained as a psychologist and economist, developed herself in the field of science. He described her feat as a proof of the quality of human resource present in Nigeria.

The President said the invention was useful as a major tool that could be used to mobilise young Nigerians and encourage them to think more deeply.
