Appoints Akinola as new Chief Imam for Oyo

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade 1, has said that a working child protection system is a prerequisite for any nation aspiring for growth and development.

Oba Owoade stated that planning for development without an enforceable set of laws, policies, regulations and services across social sectors could only amount to a futile exercise.

The Oyo monarch gave the admonition while addressing pupils from the Federal College of Education (Special) Basic School from Durbar, Oyo Town.
He said: “Children represent the future and ensuring their healthy growth and development ought to be a prime concern of all, adding that it is a fact that nations that experience prosperity are where family stability is jealously guarded.”

Meanwhile, Oba Owoade has appointed Bilaan Oseni Akinola as the new Chief Imam of Oyo land. This was contained in a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity to the Paramount Ruler, Bode Durojaiye.

“Having passed through the duly screening test, I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been selected by me as the new Chief Imam of Oyo?”

“The moment is not only significant for our people, but also sacred in the eyes of Allah for leadership in Islam demands humility, sincerity and justice.”
