“My dear sons and daughters of Ogbomosoland in Lafia, Keffi, and all across Nasarawa State, by the grace of the Almighty, I will be embarking on a royal visit to Nasarawa State on Tuesday, 27th and Wednesday, 28th May 2025,” the Oba wrote.

He remarked the visit would be an homecoming one to fraternize, consider the imperative of the greatness of Ogbomoso encompassed in the monarch’s 25 year – development plan and present official invitation to the second edition of the Cradles Carnival to be held in December.
“This is not just a visit—it is a homecoming. I look forward to meeting with you, reconnecting as one family, and sharing the vision for our collective future. During this visit, I will also unveil parts of the 25-Year Development Plan for Ogbomosoland—a bold legacy initiative to reposition our land for greatness.
“Let us come together to celebrate our heritage, strengthen our unity, and discuss how we can all contribute to building the Ogbomoso of our dreams. Let us connect, share ideas, and chart a course forward—together.

“I will also seize the opportunity to warmly invite our people in Nasarawa State to the upcoming Ogbomoso Cradle Carnival, taking place from December 18th–22nd—a cultural and economic celebration of our identity as a people.
“I look forward to seeing you all!”
The message ends with these hashtags, “#SounInNasarawa #CradleCarnival2025 #UnityInHeritage.”
Recall the Oba made similar visits to Gombe, Kaduna and Plateau states in the past. Also he visited Ogbomoso sons and daughters in North America and in the United Kingdom for similar goals and these have been yielding positive results with renewed interest by indigenes especially those outside the shores of the city underscored by the gradual direct investments being witnessed.
