OSUN State Governor Gboyega Oyetola has vowed to harness the agricultural and tourism potential of Igbomina as part of his development plans.
He spoke during the Asepo Omo Igbomina Day celebration and the N1billion fundraising for the Igbomina House in Ila-Orangun.
Oyetola, represented by the Commissioner for Regional Integration and Special Duties, Olalekan Badmus, said the government had robust “plans on agriculture, infrastructure, and mining, which will be of advantage to the people of Igbomina.”
A first-class monarch, the Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Oyedotun, urged the Igbomina communities across Kwara, Oyo and Osun states to unite so as to bring the desired growth and development to the region.
He said: “The Igbomina are a strong tribe among the Yoruba nation, and this event is to bring together all sons and daughters of Igbomina. The unity of Igbomina is essential at this point where development must be taken seriously.
“We have Igbomina communities in Osun, Kwara and Ekiti and we see the need to come together and have a formidable force to develop our communities one way or the other.”
