In a significant development, His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State, has appointed a distinguished individual as Chairman of the Oyo State @ 50 Anniversary Committee. The appointee has graciously accepted the responsibility, pledging to serve with commitment and integrity alongside other esteemed members to deliver a befitting celebration of the State’s golden jubilee.
The Oyo State @ 50 Anniversary Committee is tasked with organizing a series of events to commemorate the State’s fifty years of existence. The anniversary is a momentous occasion that celebrates the State’s growth, legacy, and contributions to Nigeria’s national project. Over the past five decades, Oyo State has evolved from a largely agrarian and academic base into a dynamic centre for commerce, intellect, politics, and culture.
The State’s capital, Ibadan, has played a significant role in shaping the country’s history, serving as a hub for politics, economy, and innovation in southern Nigeria. As the State clocks fifty, it is an opportunity to reflect on its journey, celebrate its achievements, and look towards a brighter future.
The appointed Chairman, in his acceptance speech, expressed gratitude to Governor Makinde for the honour and assured the public of a successful celebration. With the committee’s hard work and dedication, the Oyo State @ 50 anniversary is set to be a memorable and impactful event.
