He was also the Minister of Labour and Productivity under the Interim National Government of Chief Ernest Shonekan in 1993.
The statesman had also served the nation in many other capacities, applying his gift of knowledge and experience to the development of the country, while extending his means and essence to several philanthropic pursuits.
