Celebrating Olu of Lisa, Oba Najeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi at 66

 

Kaabiyesi, Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi, the Olu of Lisa kingdom in Ifo local government area of Ogun state on 22nd of October, 2023 marked his 66years of age  

The question is, what has been his admiration to his people upon  ascending to the throne of his forefathers as Baale of Lisa on July 16, 2006 and installed by  Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo and later upgraded into Oba in 2019 by the state government in order to bring succour to his subjects. 

foundation to cater for  school children in form of scholarships, funds for the aged and the widows. All his efforts is to avert rural – urban drift.

Even, Oba Odugbemi with passion for his people, he always ensure that any intervention from the government is done in Lisa without taking pains to travel outside the community. Such interventions like NIN registration was done in the town by moving staff of NIN to Lisa amongst others.

Prior to October 22nd, 2005, Lisa village was not known beyond Ifo local government, with the community around that axis barely existed and commanded no government attention.            

Today, Lisa with a recognized traditional head and the villages around it are now semi urban settlements with a big thanks to the exposure given to it by the plane crash.

Now that, Olu of Lisa, Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi, Ali Odu 1 is now 66 today, the kaabiyesi has promised to use its remaining entire life for Lisa community to move Lisa community from semi urban to full fledge urban settlement with more impactful amenities and also use his closeness to the government to bring rapid development to Lisa Town.

To Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi, real construction of the road from Ijoko to Lisa will surely bring development to Ogun state and therefore appealed to the state government under Prince Dapo Abiodun to take the advantage of constructing Lagos – Abeokuta expressway as approved to the state government by the federal government at the federal executive meeting to extend the construction to Ijoko to Lisa communities.

Thanks to Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi at 66 who is very passionate about turning Lisa community into a land flowing with honey and milk. We pray that God will continue to spare the life of Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi to continue to do more humanitarian gestures to the people of his community  for better growth and development.
