A strategic blueprint for the social and economic development of Ogbomosoland and Oyo State, Nigeria will be unveiled at the annual General convention of the Ogbomoso Sons and Daughters in North America.
The distinguished guests of honor at the convention are Oyo State Governor, His Excellency Engineer Seyi Makinde, and the Soun of Ogbomosoland, His Imperial Majesty Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III.
According to the President of the Ogbomoso Sons and Daughters in North America, Omo Oba Mathew Akintade Oladele, the convention is a pivotal moment for the community to map out a comprehensive strategy for the growth and transformation of Ogbomosoland.
“We have specially invited Governor Makinde and His Majesty the Soun to lend their support and expertise to our strategic blueprint for the social and economic development of our great town,” Oladele stated.
The Ogbomoso community, founded in the 17th century, is the third-largest city in the Southwest region of Nigeria after Lagos and Ibadan, with over 275 towns under the rulership of the Soun of Ogbomosoland.
“Ogbomoso is not just strategically located, but blessed with rich natural and human resources that can change the economic landscape of Oyo State and the country at large,” Oladele added. “As sons and daughters in the diaspora, we are leading by example, replicating our success in America back home.”
The convention promises to be a landmark event, bringing together the government, traditional leadership, and the vibrant Ogbomoso community to chart a course for the comprehensive development of their beloved town.
