He also mentioned ongoing efforts to improve the Osun Osogbo Grove, noting past support for the site’s rehabilitation and cleaning, and plans to upgrade internal roads within the grove.

He affirmed the administration’s commitment to supporting cultural festivals as a means of fostering local development and preserving tradition and culture.
