AbdulGaniyu Ishola Oguntoyinbo, Late Alh. Ahmed Ayinde Ajepeaiye, and Elder Yemi Badeijo, amongst others.

While speaking, he applauded the Governor of Kaduna state, Dr. Uba Sani for providing an enabling environment for the non-indigenes to strive in their endeavors in the state without any discrimination.

The Chairman of the occasion, Engr Oluseyi Taiwo acknowledged the efforts of the Adubi-led excos, saying that the initiative of the Ogun House project in Kaduna is laudable and commendable.

While calling on Ogun Sons and Daughters across the world to support the project for its actualization.
