Historic Royal Milestone: Rashidi Ladoja Crowned as the New Olubadan

Ibadan, the heartbeat of Yorubaland, witnesses the dawn of a new era as Oba Rashidi Ladoja ascends the revered Olubadan throne. This coronation marks not just the continuation of an age-long royal heritage but the crowning of a man whose life epitomizes excellence, resilience, and achievement across multiple spheres of human endeavor.

A colossus in the oil and gas industry, a logistics magnate, an accomplished banker, a pioneering movie producer, a distinguished senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and a celebrated former Executive Governor of Oyo State; Ladoja’s trajectory is nothing short of extraordinary.

Now enthroned as the Olubadan of Ibadan-land, Oba Rashidi Ladoja stands as a living legend, arguably the most successful son of Ibadan in contemporary history. He has attained virtually every height attainable: from boardrooms to ballot boxes, from governance to guardianship of culture.

His enthronement is more than a coronation, it is the convergence of tradition, culture, history and destiny. A new royal chapter unfolds, one that reaffirms Ibadan’s greatness under the guardianship of a monarch whose legacy was already monumental before the crown.

For us, Ladoja is not just a king, he is an institution, a legend and a testament to what is possible.
