My Installation Will Spur Me To Do More For Ibadanland– Afolabi

The newly – installed Mogaji of Agunbiade dynasty in Ode Aje Alaadorin Oluyoro Oke Offa area in Ibadan, Chief Tolulope Akinkunmi Afolabi, has declared that his installation as the Mogaji is an opportunity for him to render more services to his kinsmen and the people of Ibadanland in general.

The legal practitioner made this disclosure shortly after his installation by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja.

The event which attracted family members, friends, kinsmen and notable personalities was held at Olubadan palace on Monday.

Afolabi while speaking with journalists disclosed that he had been rendering different selfless services to the people of the area and Ibadanland in general

He, however, said that his installation was another opportunity for him to render more services to the people of the area and Ibadanland in general.

Afolabi added that implementation of programmes and ideas that will uplift the living conditions of the kinsmen and the people of Ibadanland will be his main priority.

He said, “Prior to becoming Mogaji today, I have been able to make some moves, erecting structures, providing electricity, solar lights, I was able to provide that. There are quite a number of things I intend to do.

“Quality education, health programmes, empowerment programmes. We will provide different channels for people to live a meaningful life.

“Even before this staff was handed to me, we understood that leadership must be proven, not proclaimed. By the grace of God and with the support of my siblings and the youth wing of this house, I completed the Installation of solar-powered street lights across the expanded compound in December 2025 to light up the Agunbiade family compound.

“Our mothers and children can now move at night without fear. Darkness has no place in a house that intends to lead. This project was implemented with full support of sons and daughters of Agunbiade at home and abroad, showing what unity can achieve.

“Agunbiade Human Capital Development and Education Scholarship Pilot from the next academic year will commence for worthy sons and daughters of Agunbiade family.

“At this point, I must express my deepest appreciation to the Oyegbade, Adeaga, Adegboye and Adebunmi families for their guidance, values, and unwavering support.

“As I assume this role today, I call on every member of the Agunbiade family, young and old, to join hands with me. Let us work together in unity, uphold our values, and build a legacy that future generations of the Agunbiade family and the entire Ibadanland will be proud of.
