The Ipoti community in the Irede Local Council Development Area of Ekiti State has announced plans to honour its illustrious sons and daughters with chieftaincy titles during this year’s annual festival celebration.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the Chairman of the Ipoti Community Development Association, Hon. Garba Sola Arogundande, said the awards were in recognition of the recipients’ sacrifices and contributions to the growth and transformation of the community.
He noted that the honours also aim to encourage the awardees and others to continue serving the community selflessly.
Among those to be honoured are Seun Abosede Osamaye, Margaret Fagboyo, Tunrayo Akintomide, Ojo Glova Oluwasegun, and Jennifer Nwokolo.
