Weaving Ijebu Pride into Lasting Impact

At Egbe Obaneye Okunrin Akile Ijebu, our heart beats with the rhythm of Ijebuland, blessed by Alaiyeluwa Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, CFR, JP, GCON, Ogbagba II, Awujale & Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is more than duty—it’s a sacred vow to uplift Akile Ijebu, chanting “Omo Ogbagba Agbatewole, Omo alogogun sa karakara laja” as we preserve heritage and empower lives. Guided by Ìwà Omolúàbí, we build bridges to a brighter future.

“Ìbá jẹ́ pé a ò le tan imọlẹ̀ fún gbogbo ayé, ẹ jẹ́ ká tan-an níbí tá a wà.”
(If we cannot light the world, let us illuminate where we stand.)
