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.”
