Just as he is basking on the joy of the coming 3rd year anniversary, of his ascension to the throne of his forebears.The Olu Ibogun, Oba Fakayode Adesina Faluade, has been honoured, in recognition of his unrelenting efforts at bringing modernity and development to his community and its environs.
The renowned Ifa priest-cum-traditional ruler was recently bestowed with the prestigious ‘Honorary Doctorate Degree of Science in Community Development’ by the Bestower International University, Seme, Podji, Republic of Benin, a neighboring country to Nigeria. In appreciation of this unique and rare honour accorded him by the university, the revered monarch put out in the social media thus, ‘I consider this PhD degree a great honour. My deep thanks to Bestower International University for this prestigious one.’
Since the chief promoter of Ifa Olokun Foundation,became the traditional ruler of Ibogun in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, as the Olu of Ibogunland, three years ago, he has never rested on his oars at attracting developmental and infrastructural projects to his native land, all of which have endeared him to his subjects within and outside, and his latest decoration as a honorary doctorate degree holder in community development by a foreign university, is another sterling and eloquent testimony to Oba Fakayode Adesina Faluade’s avowed commitment and unwavering resolve to bring his enclave and community out of hitherto obscurity to virtual recognition as a town to be reckoned with on all fronts. At the moment, the youthful monarch is planning to make his 3rd coronation anniversary,which comes up every December,a grand celebration.
