ABEOKUTA – Intergrity Obas Forum in Ogun State, have elected the Onibudo of Ayetoro-Budo Ota in Ado-Odo Ota local government of Ogun state, Oba Adewunmi Adeniji Odutala as their new president.
Odutala, alongside other royal fathers were elected on Saturday as new executive members of the group.
In his acceptance speech, Oba Odutala said that the vision and mission of the forum was to assist all the forum members and the society at large, among others.
According to the monarch, since the formation of the forum five years ago, it had assisted some primary school pupils in their domains with donations of books to schools, saying that the forum members have embarked on massive agricultural programmes to compliment the efforts of government in food sufficiency.
The traditional ruler stressed that the forum is engaging lawyers to visit correctional homes in their domains to help those whose cases are minor aimed at offering little assistance to such inmates.
He therefore assured that construction work on the secretariat of the forum will begin in January 2025 at Awowo at the one plot of land donated by Alawowo of Awowo to the forum.
Some traditional rulers were decorated as patrons of the forum which include Oba Mufutau Adebayo Lawal, Onipe of Ipe, Kwara state and Oba Najeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi, Olu of Lisa Kingdom, the Royal Patron of Ogun NUJ and South West, among others.
