“Our nation yearns for peace, equity, and progress, and traditional rulers like yourself have a vital role to play in achieving this vision. May your palace be a sanctuary of justice, dialogue, and service.

“As we celebrate our new monarch, let us remember that our cultural diversity is not a burden, but a strength that enrich our national identity. In our royal institutions, we find deep wells of wisdom, guardianship, and moral authority. The place of the traditional ruler remains central in promoting communal harmony, resolving conflicts, and fostering grassroots development”.

Also speaking, Governor Adeleke, while congratulating the new monarch, assured the monarch of his administration’s commitment to public private partnership in all areas.

He enumerated steps taken by his administration to develop Ilesa and Ijesaland in general.

“I reaffirm the commitment of our administration to the overall development of Ijesaland in line with our promise, Ilesa is now a university town. Over 50 courses are already accredited. We are building the internal infrastructure within the university. The university management is building a credible global institution under the direction of our administration.

“I am glad to announce that the General Hospital, Ilesa has been approved as the Teaching Hospital for the University of Ilesa. This will boost Ilesa as a centre of medical excellence.

“We are focussed on the upgrading of Ilesa to a modern city. Hence, we are almost completing the over 12 kilometers Ereja Square-Brewery Junction dual carriageway. This landmark project for the first time is opening up Ilesa for business and pleasure,” Adeleke said.
