The Okun Area Traditional Council set to confer the traditional title of Aare Oja of Okunland on the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Chief Afolasade Mujidat Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu.
A statement from the palace of the Obaro of Kabba and Chairman, Okun Area Traditional Council, Oba (Dr) Solomon Dele Owoniyi, disclosed that the event would be held in the royal court of Kabba on the 27 of this month.
Traditional rulers from all the Local Government Areas in Okunland will be joined at the ceremony by leaders of Okun people, market leaders across the area and the representatives of civil society organisations.
The statement said the title would be conferred on Chief (Mrs.) Tinubu-Ojo in recognition of her achievements as the nation’s foremost market leader as well as in appreciation of her efforts at improving the lot of women in Lagos.
It explained that the conferment was expected to cement the existing relations among the Okun people of Kogi State and their counterparts in Lagos State.
Chief Tinubu-Ojo succeeded her late grandmother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji as Iyaloja-General when the latter died in 2013.
