(Dr.) Ahmed Olanrewaju Apatira, the Executive Chairman of Itire-Ikate LCDA, commended His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos, on the auspicious occasion of his 20th year coronation anniversary. The council boss lauded Oba Akiolu as a dynamic, visionary, and progressive monarch who has been unwavering in his pursuit of a society founded on principles of justice, equity, and fairness.
Dr. Apatira hailed the monarch’s immense contributions to the development of Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole since ascending the revered throne.
