President Bola Tinubu has mourned the death of the former Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Ogbonnaya Onu.
Onu passed away at the age of 72 on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
Tinubu, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, described the former minister as “a principal draughtsman in the founding of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a valiant partner in the victory of the party in the 2015 elections.”
The president also described Onu as “an accomplished scholar, first-class engineer; a man of proven integrity; defiant to indiscipline, but ever yielding to the highest standards of rectitude.”

President Tinubu, who condoled with the friends and associates of Onu, Ebonyi and Abia State Governments, and all Nigerians grieving his loss, prayed to God to “grant repose to the gentle soul of this great leader”.
