The Alapomu of Apomu, His Royal Majesty (HRM), Oba Kayode Adenekan Afolabi, will be celebrating the second coronation anniversary on February 24, at the Palace Hall, Apomu.
In a statement signed by President, Apomu Descendants Union, (ADU), Abbas Soliu, a few programmes have been designed to mark the occasion.
He said some of the activities included a “colloquium on Apomu in Yoruba History meant to explore the critical roles Apomu played as an economic hub in the old Yorubaland, a documentary to chronicle the development of Apomu, book presentation and fund-raising for the completion of the ultra-modern palace.”
Soliu also talked about the contributions of Oba Afolabi and ADU to the development of Apomu. He said the monarch, with the support of some Apomu indigenes, had installed over 200 solar lights in different locations of the town, among others.
He said: “The security architecture of Apomuland has been deeply re-engineered to enhance the safety of life and property.
