Alaafin praises Odu’a group for upholding culture

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has lauded the efforts of the management of Odua’a Investment Company Limited for upholding the Yoruba heritage in the structure of the company.  He also hailed what he described as the leadership position that the conglomerate occupied in the nation’s economy.
The monarch spoke on Wednesday when he visited the firm’s corporate headquarters in Ibadan.
The monarch said, “I am happy to note that Odu’a, which started business on October 1, 1976, has become one of the biggest companies in Nigeria and has been operating as a conglomerate, with 70 per cent of its business as joint venture with reputable multinational companies.
“I want to specially commend the  management of the company for rekindling Yoruba arts  and heritage because a race that forgets its culture will soon reach the point of extinction.
