A Nigerian entrepreneur identified as Nnaemeka C Ikegwuonu has invented solar-powered refrigerators to help rural fish and produce markets in Nigeria.

The young man operates ColdHubs, which uses transformative technology that tackles several problems at once, Good News Network reports.

Ikegwuonu is helping farmers to gain more profits as they are able to preserve their fish, fruits and vegetables.

Spoilage, which cuts down the profits that could be made, is being avoided through ColdHubs, which currently serves 3,517 farmers and fishermen.

The company has so far installed 24 Hubs and saved over 20,000 tons of food from spoilage. The firm employed 48 women to service the refrigerators.

Ikegwuonu won the 2020 Waislitz Global Citizen Disruptor Award and was given a cash prize of $50,000 (N19,175,500).
