The paramount ruler of the Ijebu people of Ogun State, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona has lauded telecommunications giant, Globacom for being pivotal to the development of the cultures and traditions that bind  Nigerians together.
The Monarch who also gave kudos to the Chairman of the company, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr.  said posterity would remember  the business guru for adding vent to the promotion of tourism through his company's sponsorships  of festivals in the nation.
Oba Adetona said these at the  recently concluded Ojude Oba festival which was held in Ijebu Ode on Sunday.

He said they also  serve as the superstructure constructed by heroes past to ensure  the continued well being of the people.
“We also wish to appeal to all Nigerians irrespective of ethnic and religious persuasions to do all within their capabilities to strengthen that cord of unity that has always bound us together. We owe the present generation and posterity the responsibility to join forces with men and women of goodwill to sustain the renewed drive towards the historical and cultural Renaissance of our country”, Adenuga added.
He opined that the  sustained partnership with the Ojude Oba Festival Committee was reflective of  his network's  passionate commitment to  being at the forefront of major initiatives to promote  the best of Nigeria's cultures, values, desires and traditions.  
"We are proud of our newly-acquired badge of honour as the biggest corporate promoter of the Arts including celebration of traditions, cultures and desires of Nigeria and her peoples", he said, while reiterating   its commitment  to the continued provision of  world-class voice and data infrastructure that will enable all Nigerians to communicate seamlessly within the nation and across the world. 
The telecommunications firm also presented prizes to winners of the  Regberegbe and Baloguns’ competitions during the parade of the groups before the traditional ruler.
Arobayo,  Bobagunte and Gbobaniyi won in the female category while Bobamayegun, Bobagbimo and Jagunmolu won first, second and third respectively  winning N500, 000, N300, 000 and N200, 000 respectively.
