Oyo State government has renewed its call for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s (UNESCO) recognition of Sango festival held annually in the ancient Oyo town.

The state’s Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun, noted that this would complement the Oyo State government’s existing drive to promote its culture-tourism potential.

According to him, while Oyo town showcases the annual Sango festival by its devotees, there are other cultural festivals that showcase the rich culture of Oyo State.

Olatubosun, reiterated the Oyo State government’s commitment to enlist the World Sango Festival amongst other World Festivals recognized by UNESCO.
