Tinubu, Obasanjo, Jonathan celebrate ex-governor
President Bola Tinubu, former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan attended the book launch.
Mr Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, commended the senator for his contributions to governance.
“I salute Otunba Daniel for his professional exploits, governance strides and political achievements. He accomplished the feats by dint of hard work, tenacity, wisdom and courage,” Mr Tinubu said.
The president noted that Mr Daniel had built a distinguished career spanning engineering, business, and politics, and had remained relevant in national affairs over the years.
Highlighting his private-sector achievements, Mr Tinubu referenced the establishment of Kresta Laurel in 1990 as evidence of Mr Daniel’s business acumen, describing the company as a leader in Nigeria’s electromechanical engineering sector.
He added that Mr Daniel successfully translated his private-sector success into public service after he was elected governor of Ogun State in 2003, focusing on industrialisation, public-private partnerships, education, and infrastructure.
“The enviable heights the company has attained at present should not be surprising given Otunba’s business acumen, hunger for success and determination. Kresta Laurel has handled major engineering projects and has become a leader in elevator installation and maintenance in Nigeria,” he said.
