IN SHORT
Instilled with a strong sense of competition and excellence early in life, Dr Oba Otudeko ascended the corporate ladder in the banking sector before branching out into other ambitious ventures, most notably founding and chairing Honeywell Group. The success of his entire career is the result of strong values, including self-determination and discipline. “Discipline is very important for every level of achievement because without pain there is no gain. And I hope, because of my own pursuit of discipline, that I will be remembered as someone who left Nigeria a better place.”
