 Now there's one thing that has led us to where we are today economically as a country, region or as a corporate entity. That one thing is management. This was the position of Dr. Dotonso Lyman in his keynote address at the 45th anniversary of Odra Investment Company Limited held in Lagos. Plus TV Africa, state house correspondent Lavi Kukuiroko has this report. Celebrating 45 years of business operation in a harsh economic reality such as a situation in Nigeria today could be worth the while. Sons and daughters of Odra, business moguls and captains of industries all were represented here. For guest speaker Dotonso Lyman moved them to a change of mindset to question the past and embrace new ideas. Where were we when Abuja was being built from scratch from Grand Zero? What did we do? What part of that we own? And where were we when all the oil blocks were being auctioned? We just had not, we just had a late entry into the gala which had been playing for 40, 50 years. Now the question therefore is that how do we characterize the last 45 years? To me, I'm asking myself, doesn't a squadron of inherited riches sound rather apt? Lagos state governor Babaji Desawolu was represented by his deputy Obafemi Hamzad. He tried to provide answers to questions posed by the speaker. But I think it's important for us to know that the future becomes and we have a responsibility to accelerate the process of transforming this legacy company. It's a legacy company and the vision of our forefather you can't you can't just but marvel. This is a time when they don't have computers. This is what the time when they only have public writers. So for them to even put that vision together is just unbelievable. So they were genius. Paaya Okwadukun would rather talk on regionalism and restructuring, though not losing sight of the legacies of the founders of Odwa conglomerates. Even the projects we are making between 52 and 59 are continuing. We become busy with Israel today. No one down there. It is the foundation that led the Northern region to follow their own development cooperation. We are always bracing the trade. The fame of the anniversary is celebrating 45 years of dynamic transformation of the Western region into a big conglomerate. From Lagos, Love Ikuku Oyedukun.
