Uniport Student Builds ‘Audio-GIF’ Platform BickQR and Secures ₦50M Grant

Have you ever hunted for that perfect audio clip only to miss the moment? Electrical engineering student Omu Inetimi from the University of Port Harcourt built BickQR to fix that everyday frustration. BickQR works like a GIF library for sound. Users paste a link from TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, pick a 12-second segment, and instantly add it to chats. No trimming, no delays—just searchable, shareable audio “Bicks.” The Federal Government’s Student Venture Capital Grant programme awarded BickQR ₦50 million in equity-free funding. Inetimi now aims to integrate an audio keyboard into messaging apps and reach one million users in three years.
