PHOTOS: Gov Makinde Commissions New Olubadan Palace

The Governor of Oyo State ‘Seyi Makinde FNSE, on Wednesday, commissioned the newly built Olubadan of Ibadan palace.

In a statement released on the official page page of His Excellency, the Governor said;

“This evening, we commissioned the new Olubadan Palace in Ibadan”.

The event allowed us to acknowledge and thank everyone who made it possible including former Governor Abiola Ajimobi who started it, the former President of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), Chief O. O. Bello, Chief Bayo Oyero, and all Ibadan indigenes who contributed to make the project a reality.

To maintain this new palace, we have established a process where all 11 local government councils in Ibadan will contribute to its upkeep on a monthly basis.

For the second phase of the palace, we will also include renovating the Bower’s Tower, to boost tourism in our dear State.

We are looking forward to the coronation of our Olubadan this Friday.
