Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadanland has urged investors to chart development towards Ibadan as Lagos is over built.
Oba Adetunji stated this while welcoming Lagos lawmakers led by its Speaker, Hon. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa to his Popoyemoja, Ibadan palace.
The first class monarch who lauded the performance of Lagos lawmakers noted that Ibadan automatically qualifies to be the next investors’ destination because it offers peaceful atmosphere with friendly taxation system.
He stated that as a business man, he has come to realise that population and size play very important roles in economic development.
Said he; “With 11 local government councils – five in the metropolis and six in the less city and population to match – there is sufficient room for economic development to take place in Ibadan, than elsewhere. Oba Adetunji who was flanked by Eekarun-un Olubadan, High Chief Amidu Ajibade commended the infrastructure development of the Oyo state government under Senator Abiola Ajimobi, saying this would also go a long way in driving more investment opportunities towards Ibadan.
Responding, the Lagos House of Assembly Speaker, Hon. Obasa expressed gratitude to the first class monarch for the warm reception given to the entire members of the House. He stated that they had come to drink from Kabiyesi Olubadan wealth of experience, promising to ensure the promotion of Yoruba culture and language.
