Gov. Abiodun Affirms Commitment To Unlocking Ogun’s Tourism Potential

 Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, said his admin­istration is committed to exploit­ing and enhancing the tourism potential in the state.

Governor Abiodun stated this during the celebration of the 25th edition of the Omo Olowuwu Day celebration at the weekend, which was held at the Oba Odeleye Park in Oke-Sokori, Abeokuta.

The governor said that his administration is steadfast in its commitment to developing tourism as part of its broader social, cultural, and infrastruc­tural development initiatives.

According to him, culture and tradition have not only de­fined the people but have also inspired the pursuit of prog­ress within communities, add­ing that the festival, aside from reminding the people of their rich cultural heritage, also un­derscores essential values like communal harmony and love.

“In support of this vision, our administration is steadfast in its commitment to developing tourism as part of our broader social, cultural, and infrastruc­tural development initiatives.

“Our administration’s focus extends to grassroots devel­opment, placing people at the heart of our building our future together agenda.

“This festival not only re­minds us of our rich cultural heritage but also underscores essential values like communal harmony, love, and unity, which are as relevant today as ever.

“Our culture and tradition have not only defined us but have also inspired our pursuit of progress within our commu­nities.

“Today, we celebrate not only our heritage but also the signif­icant strides we have made as a state,” he said.

Abiodun noted that his ad­ministration welcomes all forms of collaboration that would help to foster economic progress, add­ing that the state government would support the agricultural cooperative initiative of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

“Our administration wel­comes collaboration from indi­viduals, corporations, and pri­vate sectors in our mission to foster cultural enrichment and economic progress.

“This agricultural cooper­ative that Baba talked about is indeed a welcome develop­ment, and this administration is throwing its full weight of support behind that project,” he added.

Prince Abiodun charged the people of the state to support his administration in promoting peace and development as the local government elections draw nearer, calling on youths to steer clear of disruptive behaviors, es­pecially during the forthcoming local government elections.
