If Lance Musa Elakama has given so much to Oak Group, it would be inconceivable and a run against healthy relationships that his staff and Co-directors in Oak Company have not in return given him some treasurable heritage. So, through their Oliver Twist-like demands for more, they have offered him the dominant grey hair that is his Trademark today.
Hear what Mr. Hakeem Faleti, a Senior Lecturer in Oak Business School said: “the white strands constitute an adumbration of the crown waiting for him in heaven by the Mercy of God.
He was used by God to bring forth Oak Group of Companies. But in the past 26 years, the companies have grown bigger, reproducing persons and institutions who are also giving life-sustaining standards in the schools and public systems, the professions, through his teachings of discipline, selflessness and integrity in Oak Business School.
Lance himself has shown these virtues and built them into staff and students of Oak Group.
In the present day Nigeria, the job market is saturated and the need for persons who will create and nurse job opportunities for themselves and others is the reason for the present outcry of unemployment for graduates in our country.
Lance himself declared: “Oak Business School wants to make a difference to bake and make our students intellectual entrepreneurs for life-long achievement.
Ex-director General of Nigeria Stock Exchange (MrsOkereke), attested to this when she said on the 31st of March, 2022, during Lance birthday “He was a pathway to majority of Businessmen in this country, who got their businesses listed in the Stock Exchange. The implacable writer and one of the Group Directors Dr. (Pastor) Paul Nanna, also applauded him for his exemplary leadership as the Chairman Oak Group of Companies.
Lance has been unrelenting in his drive for creating inspired intellectuals with entrepreneurial bent that will be role models in industry leadership, socially responsible and decent individuals for a greater tomorrow of the country and the world at large.
