By Daily sports on March 12, 2021

It was all pump and pageantry on Thursday, March 11, 2021, in the historic city of Ogbomosho, Osun State, as the Minister  of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, was installed as the Agbaakin of Ogbomosholand  by the Soun of Ogbomosho, Oba Jimoh Oyedunni Oyewumi Ajagungbade III. 

The honour is “in recognition of Dare’s giant strides in the development Ogbomosoland and the country at large which has seen him renovate the Soun Stadium, trained 40 coaches, facilitated the building of the hospital at Pakiotan, facilitate  the release of take-off grant for the Federal Polytechnic Ayede and donation of an 18-seater bus to the newly established federal institution, vocational training for more than 200 youths, rehabilitation of the Taki roundabout,  donation of laptops  to LAUTEC, among others.”

The title was bestowed on the Minister by the Soun of Ogbomosho land on November 20, 2020, but the official coronation was delayed due to the Minister’s busy schedule.

Speaking during the ceremony, the monarch said: “The title of Agbaakin is one of the highest title conferred on any courageous, hardworking, dedicated and prominent son of Ogbomosho that has done a lot to the development of our town. The important role of Dare in Ogbomosoland and Nigeria in general cannot be undermined. 

“His giant strides in Youth Empowerment, provision of infrastructure, sports development cannot be over-emphasised. He is a true son of the soil and a worthy Nigerian in whom we are all pleased. I hereby confer this title on you for your outstanding performance.” 

Dare said he was humbled by the title, assuring that it would spur him to do more.

Meanwhile, members of the Ogbomosho Descendants Development Association have congratulated the Minister “on his well-deserved honour.”

A statement by the Chairman of the Association, Rtd. Air Commodore Jacob Adigun, said: “On behalf of all Ogbomosho Descendants home and abroad, we congratulate our Minister on this well-deserved honour. We believe this would encourage you to serve our great town, Oyo State and Nigeria better.”
