feature of Globacom’s participation in this year’s festival. At the pageant,
young and delectable ladies of eighteen years and above and who are of Ijebu
origin and are students or graduates of any of the leading institutions of
higher learning within Ijebuland are eligible to contest.
Addressing a press conference in
Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, last Monday, on the 2015 edition of the festival slated
for September 25, the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Otunba Wahab Osinusi
showered praises on Globacom for being one of the very few indigenous companies
extending hands of fellowship to the development of the cultural heritage of
the Nigerian people.
“Every year the Ojude Oba is held,
we have observed with delight, the deep passion displayed by the people while
showcasing their interpretation of their cultural identities through their
dresses, songs and dance steps. We are thrilled when we see the joy and
camaraderie radiating throughout the land,” he said.
