Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved the nomination of Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The approval was sequel to a meeting on Wednesday between the state government delegation and Oba Ladoja as well as members of the Olubadan Advisory Council.
Confirming the approval, Oba Ladoja’s media aide, Adeola Oloko, said the installation of the traditional ruler has been fixed for September 26, at the Mapo Hall, Oja-oba, Ibadan.
