Tinubu congratulates Kresta Laurel on its 35th anniversary, lauding the indigenous engineering firm for its resilience, enterprise, and sound management over the decades.
In a statement issued on October 2 by Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extended warm felicitations to the management and staff of Kresta Laurel Limited, Nigeria’s leading elevator and escalator company.
He noted that the company’s three-and-a-half decades of operations are a testament to its “effective management, discipline, and unwavering belief in the Nigerian market.”
Headquartered in Lagos with branches across Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo, and a zonal office in Ibadan, Kresta Laurel has become a key player in vertical transportation technology, earning recognition such as the African Order of Merit in Cranes, Escalators, and Elevator Technology.
President Tinubu fondly recalled the firm’s support during his early days as Governor of Lagos in 1999, when Kresta Laurel provided crucial space for his transition team that helped assemble his first technocratic cabinet.
He also extended personal congratulations to Senator Gbenga Daniel, Chairman of Kresta Laurel’s Board of Directors, wishing the business continued success and many more landmark anniversaries.
This presidential recognition reinforces Kresta Laurel’s standing as a trailblazing indigenous company driving innovation and industrial development in Nigeria.
