A frontline engineering firm has said it remains focused on inspiring and supporting future engineers in Nigeria as part of efforts to build a sustainable future through engineering leadership.
The firm, known as Kresta Laurel Limited (KLL), is located in the Maryland area of Lagos. Its chairman made the pledge at the company’s 35th anniversary celebration in Lagos recently.
The event, tagged ‘Students’ Interactive Programme,’ brought together engineering students from the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Lagos State University (LASU), and Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH).
Daniel, in his keynote address, reflected on the company’s journey and commitment to the country’s development. “For 35 years, Kresta Laurel has led the way in Nigeria’s engineering sector by investing in knowledge development and human capacity,” he said.
Dideolu Falobi, the Managing Director of the firm, noted that the event was more than just celebrating a milestone. “This initiative is not just about looking back; it’s about looking ahead,” he said, adding, “we want to help young Nigerians connect their academic training with what happens in the real world of engineering.”
The programme was packed with practical sessions and engaging conversations designed to give students a taste of real industry challenges and expectations. They explored key areas such as leadership, safety, and global quality standards.
Highlights of the event included a session on Leadership and Career Development by Kehinde Sogunle; Fire Safety Awareness by Sunkanmi Adegorite; Workplace Safety by Habib Lukman, and Quality Management Systems by Peter Adewumi.
Academic leaders from UNILAG’s Faculty of Engineering were also present, including S. O. Adeosun (Dean), Oyekeye, Lawrence Osoba, and Obidiagwu. Engr. Osho represented LASUSTECH.
For more than three decades, Kresta Laurel has built a reputation not only for engineering excellence but also for mentoring and developing young talent.
The 35th anniversary served as a reminder that the company’s eyes remain firmly on the future, supporting young engineers, sharing knowledge, and contributing to national growth.
