Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland Otunba Gani Adams Appointed as the Grand Patron of African Cultural Festival and Oduduwa Cultural Festival

It was a monumental gathering when the Founder of House of Gold International Royal Foundations, a cultural advocacy organization alongside his executive Team members Otunba Gbenro Enishemo, the co-ordinator of Oduduwa cultural festival and Jane Thomas, tourism manager, paid a courtesy visit to the Aare Okakanfo of Yorubaland at his magodo estate palace on 29th day of January, 2019, where the latter was appointed as the Grand Patron African Cultural Festival and Oduduwa Cultural Festival with a letter of partnership with Oduduwa people's congress to that effect.

In his speech, Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams commended the team for recognizing the importance of their culture, stating that "anyone who forgets his culture will never be blessed". He went on to promise to support the group in more ways than one and to ensure the success of the Unveiling of the African Cultural Festival coming up in April.

The foremost civil right activist and phenomenal Yoruba traditional leader further went on to advise the team not to focus on the sheer aggrandizement accompanied with the event but seeing such as an opportunity to showcase our national treasures to the world which will bring about employment opportunities, foreign investments and economic development.

Admittedly, he assures of the support of royal fathers; Alaafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ife as the upcoming festival serves as a avenue through which historical values are being recognised around the world, admitting that this kind of event is one of its kind in the history of Nigeria.
