…recounts achievements
The community of Odo Owa in Oke Ero Local Government of Kwara State is celebrating a major milestone today – the 10-year anniversary of their traditional leader, Oloota, Oba Joshua Adeyemi Adimula.
He was crowned king on March 6, 2015, after being chosen by the kingmakers.
Oba Adimula’s reign has been marked by significant infrastructural achievements, including the establishment of a road safety outpost, which was later upgraded to a Unit Command.
He also ensured the upgrading of the Odo Owa police post to a divisional headquarters and oversaw the ongoing construction of a new edifice for the Odo Owa diagonal headquarters.
This celebration is a testament to the monarch’s dedication to his community and his efforts to bring about positive change.
Interestingly, Oba Adimula has also been involved in other community development initiatives, such as providing food items to the elderly and awarding scholarships to exceptional students
Oloota’s efforts to improve the lives of his people in Odo Owa community are truly commendable.
He has undertaken numerous initiatives, including the renovation of the Odo Owa Ward I Health Centre and the ongoing reconstruction of the facility to address the community’s health concerns
Additionally, he has facilitated the establishment of a Primary Health Care facility in the community, courtesy of the National Primary Health Care in Abuja. The construction of blocks of classrooms in three secondary schools and the Odo Owa Magistrate Court, now fully operational, are also notable achievements.
Oloota’s commitment to education is evident in his scholarship program, which has benefited 56 secondary students who excelled academically over the past three years. He also covers the WAEC/NECO fees for at least three students annually.
The monarch’s philanthropic efforts extend beyond education and healthcare. Through his “Royal Praise” programme, he provides food and valuable items to the downtrodden, particularly widows.
Even the abandoned Odo Owa town hall has received a boost, showcasing Oloota’s dedication to community development.
These initiatives demonstrate Oloota’s tireless efforts to uplift his community, inspired by the principles of community development, which emphasizes collective action to address common problems and improve the quality of life for citizens
