The Alaafin-elect, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade, has said one of his agenda is to make sure that graduate youths who are seeking jobs are taken away from the streets.
He also said that he would create vocational skill centres for youths.
According to a press release issued by the Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin, Bode Durojaiye, on Tuesday, the paramount ruler said he would make sure some graduates with BSc or HND were helped with cyber security training “to checkmate seeking greener pastures abroad.”
Alaafin Owoade stated that he would continue from where his predecessor, the late Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, stopped, towards promoting culture and improving on the Sango and Oranmiyan festivals.
Durojaiye said widows and widowers would be empowered “to improve their socio-economic lives.”
“What is more important is the development of health facilities; this has been the new Alaafin’s priority, and he wants to be remembered for it during his reign.
“Alaafin Owoade has negotiated with international organizations, and they have agreed to support him in developing his kingdom.
“Oba Owoade will also make sure the artifacts taken away by the British in 1895 are brought back with some payments made,” the statement read.
