I remember he created OGROMA from the scratch and it grew from road repairs to an agency that dualised Abeokuta -Sagamu expressway making use of our artisans. Zero capital flight. He did all that with human face. I won’t forget the joy of the inhabitants along the expressway whose mud houses were affected by the project, Otunba Daniel constructed better houses for them with modern infrastructure.
“Otunba Daniel values education. He established TASUED and four other polytechnics. It is because of all these and more too numerous to mention that we are appointing him as a member BoT of AATSG.”
