“We do not want the peace of a graveyard, but rather, we crave for a glamorous and lasting peace that brings about true development. The task of peaceful co-existence and progress requires that all hands must be on deck to achieve our laudable goals,” Engr. Akeem opined. 

The high and might of the society were visibly present which added to the shine and glamour of the grand finale.

He urged the people to see the celebration, not as only merry-making, but to reflect on how they can contribute to the growth of Ijede community. 

"This is the essence of celebrating our town days, and I want to believe that both sons and daughters of Ijede land at home and the Diaspora will use this to contribute to the socio-economic growth of this great kingdom,” Chairman Fatiu urged.
