OSUN FESTIVAL 2014 SET TO GO

The heat is on and the excitement is building once again as local and international tourists count down to
the yearly Osun Osogbo festival.the release of the calendar for 2014 edition, which has become one of the hallmarks of the people of Osogbo as well as indigenes of Osun State, is an indication that the aim is to surpass the previous celebrations on all fronts. The excitement which usually precedes the event, was on hand again at a corporate cum stakeholder’s forum held at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, where the organizers unveiled some of its plans for a better outing this year Chief Jimoh Buraimoh, a high chief and chairman of the Festival Advisory Committee assured that this edition would be better organized than previous ones especially with the array of local musicians that would be on parade even as he affirmed that the annual event has helped to build goodwill, cultural awareness and peace not only in Osogboland but beyond.

“Today, the enlistment of Osun Grove in July 2005 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site has
helped a great deal in ascertaining this fact, Buraimoh noted.

He announced that the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola leadership has transformed and is still
transforming the Osun grove since assumption of office and has actually structurally
created an in and out crowd control entrance and exit to the grove. The government has
demolished the existing pavilion in the grove and has constructed a theatre-like stage
and re-modifying the festival route with construction of a road drainage system with
designated car parks and so on.

On the issue of security, Chief Buraimoh assured that the government is taking the
challenge of security of lives and property within the state seriously as adequate
arrangement has been made for the grand finale presentation of the 2014 edition.

Confirming the dividends, Ayo Olumoko, Managing Director, Infogem Nigeria Limited,
the official marketing consultant of the festival said a powerful delegation of Osun
devotees is expected from the Diaspora as well as other African countries and numerous
tourists from around the globe.

Although the number of foreign tourists has grown steadily since it became a world
heritage site, one of the challenges of this growth is the impact of mass tourism to the
grove.

Speaking at the event, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji, Olanipekun II, the Ataoja of Osogbo, commended
the sponsors for their steadfast commitment and support to the festival and the Yoruba
culture.
