Ito Omu Kingdom coordinator Ololade Oshin said her area in the Epe Division is putting together the Olomu Festival for next year, and local chiefs already signed off on the whole thing. The woman runs the eco-cultural event as Iyalaje of Ito Omu, and she told people the community wants to drop a tourist village on their land while expanding farming and fishing operations to boost food production.
Oshin mentioned that the Lagos State Government, the waterways authority, Epe Local Government, and regional monarchs are backing the project. Oba Kamorudeen Animashaun from Epe, plus two other traditional rulers, called it a solid move for heritage preservation and bringing in tourism money.
They threw a boat regatta to hype up the announcement and show off what the festival vibe might look like when it actually happens.
