In a desperate effort to correct the erroneous beliefs that Lagos belongs to nobody, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi (Kusenla III) of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom has vowed to put the record straight by educating non Lagosian about the state history.
Towards this end, the monarch has decided to set up a centre Lagos Studies at Lagos State University (LASU).
Fielding questions from reporter during the commemoration of the his 13th year coronation, Aroba of Ikate Kingdom, Chief Olalekan Bakare, said the laudable project would serve as research centre on Lagos Study
“Lagos is no man’s land’ (Gbogbo wa la leko. We all own Lagos).”He argued this perception is a contradiction to the popular cliché among the indigenous elements of Gedegbel’Eko wa (Lagos Stands alone), insisting that the first assumption rests on a misconception rather than on facts of history.”
” That is why the King plans to establish a centre for Lagos Studie in Lags State University (LASU) to help indigent and non-indigent alike to do more research about Lagos State.
“Today, 13 years and counting, Oba Elegushi has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the well-being of his people and has tirelessly worked to improve the lives of his subjects. His reign has been characterized by a deep sense of humility, compassion, and a genuine desire to serve his people.”
