The year 2021 Iganmode festival has come with many innovations that would further enhance the economic standards of Ogun state.

The Olota of Ota,HRM Abdulkabir Adeyemi Obalanlege, Lanlege Ekun ||, in his word describes the festival as unique one to foster developments to the citizens,residents and the state at large.

 

 

 

Lanleg Ekun also canvasses for more government participation, ' We want  government to support and cover Iganmode festival in their annual budgets as it's done for other state festivals like Ojude-Oba,Oronna festival, Odun Omo- Olowu, etc'.

 Government should see the importance of the festival as means to improve communal peace and our cultural endowment.
