He said: “This edition represents a defining milestone for us. For twenty-one unbroken years, Globacom has walked this cultural journey with the people of Ijebuland.

“Beyond sponsorship, this part nership symbolises our deep respect for tradition, community, and the enduring spirit of our heritage. “To commemorate this historic anniversary, we are committed to making this year’s celebration even more colourful, memorable, and impactful for Ijebu sons and daughters across the world.”
