Globacom Sponsors Ojude Oba Festival for 21st Year

Globacom reaffirmed its sponsorship of the Ojude Oba Festival in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria, continuing a partnership that began 21 years ago. The festival has grown from a local gathering to an internationally recognized cultural event. Globacom representative Olumide Orojimi stated the sponsorship reflects the company’s belief in culture as a source of identity and unity.

This year’s festival holds added significance as it is the first since the death of Awujale Sikiru Kayode Adetona, who reigned for over 60 years and championed the festival’s heritage. Globacom plans to award N750,000 to first-place winners of age-grade competitions, with additional prizes for second and third place.

Attendees can purchase Globacom products during the festival. The company also supports other Nigerian cultural events, like the Ofala Festival. Future festivals will need to build on the legacy of the late Awujale, and continue attracting international attention.
