Remo, ijebu youths pledge unwavering support for new state
The Ijebu-Remo Youth Progressive Organisation (IREYPO) has expressed its heartfelt appreciation for the unwavering dedication and leadership shown by Ijebu and Remo royal fathers. Their tireless efforts and advocacy have been instrumental in driving the movement for the creation of a new state from the existing Ogun .
The media engagement where Akogun Jamiu Alabi Olododo, convener of the Ijebu-Remo Youth Progressive Organisation (IREYPO), reaffirmed the group’s commitment to unity and support for the creation of Ijebu-Remo State took place at Eskay Hotel, Sagamu.
The creation of Ijebu-Remo State has gained widespread support from traditional rulers, political figures, and community leaders. Advocates argue that the new state would foster equitable development, improve administrative efficiency, and address decades of demands for better representation and resource allocation.
Notably, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, and the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Adewale Ajayi, have inaugurated separate implementation committees to ensure the constitutional approval of the proposed Ijebu State. The committees are expected to harmonize their efforts and submit a joint report.
