Innovation is considered an important driver of long--‐term productivity and economic growth. It is argued that countries that generate innovation, create new technologies and encourage adoption of these new technologies grow faster than those that do not. The Automated pap making machine is conceived based on the need for Nigeria to have locally feed consumption. Pap which is commonly consumed both adults and children still been processed using Manuel and crude method, Agidi and akamu are household food commonly eaten in all region of the country. It is principally processed by women and children and Manuel method used has limited potential of this staple food and adversely affected the income of the crop of person involved in its production.
