His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, The Akarigbo of Remo Land addressing the gathering

The Akarigbo and Paramount ruler of Remo Land, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the development of the entire Remo Division of Ogun State.

Oba Ajayi who ascended the throne in 2017, barely two years ago had introduced several developmental initiatives, aimed at positioning Remo Land as the destination of choice in Ogun State.

One of these is the establishment of Remo Growth and Development Foundation otherwise known as Remo GDF, which is meant to be the driving force for the development of Remo Land. The group was instrumental to the opening of Nigerian Passport Office and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Court House in Sagamu, Setting up of the Akarigbo Corporate Council and the on-going renovation of the Remo GDF Secretariat at Iperu.

At the Dinner, attended by distinguished Remo sons and daughters, based in Lagos, Oba Ajayi reiterated his commitment to the development of Remo Land, noting that, it was the main reason he accepted the offer to become the Akarigbo of Remo Land. 

‘I have never dreamt of becoming an Oba, talkless of Akarigbo of Remo Land. Though, as a human being, my love for my people, my love for Remo and my love to help people has always been there. Those who were my school mates at Remo Secondary School can attest to this fact. I am just passionate about the development of Remo Land and this had nothing to do with any aspiration’, he said.

‘When we wanted to start a business in the area of hospitality, and I chose Sagamu, some people told me to consider Ikoyi or Ikeja in Lagos, as these are good locations that promises great returns on investments. But, my immediate response was, how many choice hotels do we have in Sagamu that we can proudly boast of. The rest, as they say is now history’, Oba Ajayi added.

Earlier, in his welcome address, Chairman Remo Growth and Development Foundation, Otunba Tunji Lawal-Solarin also appealed to Remo sons and daughters in attendance, to subscribe to the developmental visions of the Akarigbo, through Remo GDF.

Co-Chairman of Remo GDF, Aare Kola Oyefeso equally intimated the guests on some giant strides that have been undertaken by the organization in less than two years of its existence and how these initiatives have given Remo Land a better rating among other divisions in Ogun State.

Giving a preview into its 2020 programmes, Otunba Seni Adetu called on distinguished Remo sons and daughters at home and in dispora to support the Remo GDF 2020 development agenda, which includes Remo Economic Summit, Remo Trade Expo and Remo Endowment Fund, among others.
