The Fidelity Bank-sponsored Ile-Ife Fiesta has been re-arranged and repackaged.
https://www.theoctopusnews.com, learnt the Fiesta was re-arranged and repackaged to give all VIPs and attendees the best of what Ile-Ife has to offer.
The event was to hold during the Easter break, but it had to be postponed to ensure that all “T”s of the event were crossed while the “I” dotted.
Project Director; Ayo George, explains the reasons for the postponement thus “Ile-Ife has been designated as a tourism zone by His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, OJAJA II, Ooni of Ife, and we felt this Fiesta would be the first major event after that declaration, so we went back to the drawing board to re-plan the event to a bigger one. We met His Imperial Majesty thereafter to intimate him of our decision and he simply gave his blessings for us to go ahead. The Fidelity Bank sponsored concert will now hold on Thursday, May 28, at the Palace of the Ooni of Ife. OJAJA II also gave a written endorsement so no one would think all this is a joke” George Said. “Ile-Ife Fiesta is one of many projects coming up in Ile-Ife as we have discussed with His Imperial Majesty, so we need to make this a mega success.
The concert is expected to open up Ile-Ife to the world. It is for the world to know we have a King and a city in southwestern Nigeria that are open to massive partnerships from both Local Direct Investments and Foreign Direct Investments, and we are using tourism as a vehicle to make that happen”, Ayo George concluded.
