The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, yesterday, urged the southwest governors to tackle the security challenges in the zone to provide enabling environment for tourism development.
Adams made the call in Osogbo, Osun State capital during the grand finale of the 2021 edition of Osun Osogbo Festival held at L’aaro Primary School, Asubiaro Area, Isale Osun, Osogbo.
“Osun Osogbo festival is a brand on its own. Therefore, the Osun State government must upgrade the groove to an international standard as it is done in Brazil and other Caribbean countries, “For instance, in Oyo, we have Oke’ba dan Festival. Iyake suspended lake is another blessing to the Oyo State government. In Ekiti, we have Ogun Onire festival. In Ondo, we have Okota festival. In Ogun, we have Olumo festival in Abeokuta and in Lagos, there is Eyo festival,” the Aareonakankanfo said.
