Odadee Dr. Solomon Dadebo (1980) Propels Presec Unto World Stage

The writing was on the wall from his Clerk House days commencing September 1975 to June 1982. Solomon Dadebo was a gentle, humble, studious and academically gifted young boy who later became Clerk House Prefect in 1981-82. Proceeding to then UST with excellent grades, he was among the few who were admitted to read Chemical Engineering in his time. It was just a matter of time that one day this reticent Odadee will lift high the flag of Presec & Ghana in the field of Engineering on the international scene.

By dint of hard work and focus, Odadee Solomon Dadebo has studiously confounded the academic and industrial community in the United States and Canada with several inventions to enhance industrial profitability. He has authored seven (7) Patents and won Chemical Processing Magazine’s Plant Innovation Award in 2006. He is one of the most sought after authority in the field of Plant Performance Monitoring, Model Predictive Control and Real-time Optimization applications.
