According to him, it is time for the people to reclaim their heritage and use it as a springboard for economic progress.

Awogboro said, “We must revive our language, our arts, our crafts, and our traditions, and use them to create jobs, stimulate innovation, and drive economic growth.

“The potential for economic growth through the rejuvenation of Yoruba culture is vast. Our cultural festivals, such as the Oranyan and Sango Festival s in Oyo, Osun Osogbo Festival, Egungun in Ibadan,Ojude Oba in Ijebu and the Eyo Festival in Lagos, Odún Ęlęro in Ijurin Ekiti among others can be developed into major tourist attractions to create jobs for the youths generate revenue and create wealth.

“Our traditional crafts, such as woodcarving, Bead Making, textiles like Adire and Aso Oke, as well as pottery, can be revived and developed into thriving industries. And our language, Yoruba, can be promoted as a major language of commerce, trading and industrialisation to empower the Youths.

“Let me however state emphatically that this is not a task for government and traditional rulers alone. It requires the collective effort of all Yoruba sons and daughters, home and in the diaspora. We must work together to promote our culture, to develop our cultural industries, and to create jobs and economic opportunities for our people. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and our ancestors to ensure that our culture continues to thrive and flourish.

He however said rejuvenation of Yoruba culture is not just a cultural imperative but also an economic necessity.

“Let us work together to revive our culture, promote our cultural industries, and to create jobs and economic opportunities for our people. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our beloved Yoruba nation.
