OBA ADEWALE AJAYI WILL MOVE SAGAMU, REMO LAND FORWARD, ASIWAJU S.K ONAFOWOKAN

The chairman, Akarigbo coronation planning committee and a frontline business man; former President, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who is also one of the most revered and influential Remo leaders, Asiwaju S.K Onafowokan has assured indigenes and residents of Sagamu and the entire Remo land of a prosperous reign under the new Akarigbo of Remo land, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi.

Asiwaju Onafowokan gave this assurance in an exclusive chat with Remo Times, when baring his mind on his expectations from the leadership of the new Akarigbo of Remo Land. Asiwaju stressed that, Oba Ajayi has promised to open up the entire Sagamu and Remo for further industrilisation and commercial activities.

‘Sagamu, by geographic location is a gateway city, within a gateway state. Therefore, Sagamu should be the destination of first choice for any industry. As a member of the Manufacturer Association of Nigeria, we will continue to encourage industries to come here’.

Speaking further, he said, ‘It is very easy to attract industries, but we must be willing not just to accommodate them. The younger ones must be ready to serve in any opportunity we have, through employment. They must roll up their sleeves and be ready to work. That is the only way they could assist our new Kabiyesi to deliver his promise to energise, industrialise and commercialize Sagamu further’.

Also corroborating Asiwaju Onafowokan’s position, Dr Yemi Ogunbiyi, former MD Daily Times Nigeria Ltd who also doubles as the Chairman, Publicity Sub-Committee of the Akarigbo coronation committee added that, ‘Kabiyesi has said it on one or two occasions that he intends to move Sagamu and the entire Remo Land to the next stage’.
