One of the winners of a brand new car from Globacom, the major sponsor of the Ojude-Oba festival, Opeoluwa Osisanwo, yesterday, paid an appreciation visit to the company’s office in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

The visit was to express his profound appreciation to the Chairman of Globacom, Dr Mike Adenuga (Jr.), for the honour done to the Ijebu community through the community service award that he won. He also used the opportunity to congratulate Globacom on another successful sponsorship of the globally acclaimed festival.

Osisanwo, who was unanimously selected to receive the first of the two cars donated by Globacom as a community service award prize, expressed joy that his name came up among the elders to receive the brand new Suzuki Celerio prize.

He said he was focused on doing his bit to promote and project the good name of Ijebuland as secretary of the organising committee of the Ojude-Oba festival, a role he has diligently played for some years now.

The winner, 52, a dedicated community leader that doubles as the Secretary of the Ojude Oba Festival Planning Committee, was honoured with a new car for his outstanding service.

Osisanwo, during the visit, also commended the company on the honour done to him through the elders of the Ijebu community who decided in line with the directive of Globacom to present one of the two brand new cars to an indigene chosen by the community.

Meanwhile, the other car was won in a contest by Idowu Olabisi, a trader resident of Ijebu-Igbo. “I am grateful to Globacom for this community service award at the 2025 Ojude-Oba festival. My appreciation goes to the management of Globacom and to the Chairman, Dr Mike Adenuga (Jr.), the Otunba Apesin of Ijebuland. I want to thank him sincerely for this great gift in appreciation of my service to the community, and to the Ojude-Oba festival committee in particular as secretary for over 15 years that I’ve been working. May the company continue to grow and may God grant the chairman good health and sound mind to continually enjoy the fruit of his labour. May Globacom continue to excel,” he enthused.
