THE Onidera of Idera kingdom in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Oba James Oladipo Buremoh, has said that the construction work on a multimillion naira vocational and computer training centre he facilitated will be ready for inauguration by December.
Oba Buremoh made this known during the celebration of his 20th coronation held at the community.
The monarch said that the project while completed will transform Idera community and provide employment opportunities for the unemployed youths.
He said that the project is being undertaken by his foundation, Ladi Tiger Rural Development Foundation, supported by his cabinet members and friends both at home and in the diaspora.
The traditional ruler recalled that he was initially apprehensive of what the future had for him when the kingmakers pronounced him king in 2004, saying that he gave all the glory to God for the support his cabinet members, family, friends and his chiefs at home and in the diaspora gave him to make the 20 years journey a success.
Highlights his achievements Oba Buremoh said the community has witnessed unprecedented development such as potable water, infrastructure, renovation of dispensary and construction of new classrooms for pupils through counterpart funding with the state government.
“I don’t see myself as your king, but a servant and I will continue to give my all for the rapid development of Idera kingdom and its environs,” he said.
Oba Buremoh lauded the state governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for the support Idera kingdom is receiving from his administration, particularly the construction of their road. Like Oliver Twist, the monarch is asking for more infrastructure and internet services to boost the economy of the area and curb rural-urban migration in the state.
The monarch sued for peace among his subjects, saying there can never be any meaningful development in an atmosphere of rancour, bickering and bitterness.
Speaking at the inter-faith prayer session, Pastor A. Oyinloye of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Idera and the Chief Imam of Idera, Alhaji Wahab Ibitoye, commended the service of Oba Buremoh, thanking God for the vision, grace, direction and divine provision for the success so far.
The Otun Balogun of Idera, Chief Olufemi Owolabi, who came from the United States to represent the 20 chiefs in the diaspora, lauded Oba Buremoh for his dedication to the welfare of the people and promised to convince others in diaspora to further support the monarch.
