Governor Biodun Oyebanji made the revelation when he visited the residence of the late carver in Ise-Ekiti, Ise-Orun local government area of the state.

Oyebanji said the carver popularly known as Olowe of Ise, who died in 1934 distinguished himself with his artistic dexterity, with his works scattered across major museums in America and European countries.

The governor accompanied by Senator Babafemi Ojudu, the Arinjale of Ise, Oba Adetunji Ajayi and other prominent leaders in the visit promised that the government would build a museum in the house where all his works from abroad would be retrieved and deposited to attract tourists and investors across the world.

 He said the artifacts when returned would serve as a means of boosting the economic fortune of the state and preserving the cultural heritage for coming generations.

 The governor said, “Today, as we embark on the rehabilitation of Olowe of Ise, we have the opportunity to not only preserve and celebrate his legacy, but also to bring greater awareness to his work within Nigeria.

 “Olowe’s carvings are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic excellence of our nation, and it is only right that we ensure his contributions are properly acknowledged and celebrated.

 “Through this rehabilitation, we can create a space that not only showcases Olowe’s carvings, but also serves as a hub for artistic exchange and appreciation.

 “It is our hope that by doing so, we can inspire a new generation of artists and artisans to draw upon Olowe’s incredible talent and passion for their own creative endeavors.’’

 

 Responding, Oba Ajayi, who hailed the efforts of governor Oyebanji and Senator Ojudu for their interest in showcasing the late carver to the world, added that the community would constitute a committee to support the initiative.
