The Model will be presented to the President alongside the commissioning of an iconic multi-billion naira School of Governance bequeathed at Olabisi Onabanjo University the first of its kind in the world.
This was disclosed by Otunba Dr. Adekule Hassan, the Chairman of the central working committee of Adetona’s 64th coronation and 90th birthday anniversary of the monarch,
during a press conference held at the Awujale Palace on Friday.
It was also disclosed that all Governors in the Southwestern are expected to grace the grand finale of the event.
Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Odutona, a patriot and nationalist of the highest order, was officially crowned on April 2, 1960, just about six months before the country attained independence.
His coronation included the presentation of the staff of the office which was performed
by the Premier of Western Region, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, and witnessed by an unprecedented crowd including Nigeria’s Leader of Opposition, Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo, and Ijebu notables.
Since 1960, Oba Adetona has succeeded in raising the status and reckoning of his Ijebu
people. He is known and perceived as one of the country’s greatest monarchs- dead or alive.
A philosopher and social engineer, a thoroughbred and incorruptible monarch, Adetona’s fame and popularity extend beyond the shores of Nigeria, Oba Adetona has been a significant factor in the nation’s socio-political and economic development and growth.
The Awujale is loyal and devotedly committed to the Nigerian State.
