The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, has signed the Economic Blueprint for the all-round development of Ibadanland.
The presentation of the document was done by the heads of the Olubadan Economic and Investment Committee, a former Minister, Chief (Mrs) Onikepo Akande, and a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Prof. Dapo Afolabi, at the Olubadan Palace, Oke-Aremo, in Ibadan North Local Government Area of the state.
Oba Ladoja described the document as a comprehensive economic charter that would enable the leadership to plan the economic programme, ranging from agriculture to mining, tourism, security and industry.
