Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State and other dignitaries including traditional rulers, political leaders, and businessmen recently stormed the ancient city of Ile-Ife for the grand opening of the Ojaja Mall, a multi-billion Naira shopping center.
The Ojaja Mall, which was commissioned by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, is a state-of-the-art shopping complex that is expected to boost economic activities in the area and create employment opportunities for the people of Ile-Ife and its environs.
Sharing the good news, Ooni of Ife wrote, ” Earlier today, it was a noble and extraordinary development for me to welcome His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke, Executive Governor of Osun, and other top dignitaries at the unveiling ceremony of the OJAJAMORE in Osogbo as part of my mission to strengthen Nigeria’s socio-economic growth. Significantly, encouraging substantial investments in the scalability of shopping malls with 100 percent local content remains a critical asset for market communities across cities in Nigeria.
OJAJAMORE is designed to serve as a suitable market and melting point for agro-products, providing a more direct procurement route and long-term economic incentives to farmers while eliminating middlemen. Farmers and growers of various commodities stored at OJAJAMORE are intertwined with human development and national survival. They are the foundation of wealth distribution, as well as the enablers that allow us to be free of unemployment, hunger, and destitution.
I’m committed to building OJAJAMORE in all Nigerian cities with the strategic philosophy of expanding the economic prosperity of individuals and our youths while making malls the prominent ideal places in the configuration of modern cities: mobility, cultural influence, social mixing, elimination of class segregation, etc. It continues to deliver inclusive and dynamic roadmaps for local market accessibility and preserve the footprints of traditional agro-products through technology. This is the ground-breaking shopping mall model that reinforces our traditional agro-commodity market values.
