Dr Thomas Ogungbangbe has said that the strong and well functioning governance infrastructure in the palace of Aragbiji of Iragbiji, premised on transparent and efficient communication,

prioritizes the communal interests of Iragbiji as incentive basis for the growth and development opportunities available to the town that hosts the headquarters of Boripe local government council area of Osun State.

Continuing, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CITA ENERGIES, ostensibly expressing his birthday wishes for the traditional ruler of Iragbiji who turned a year older yesterday, stated, the free rein of the palace pertinent discussions on the community affairs that values the culture of collaboration and constructive feedback, has brought continued peaceful and stable order to Iragbiji, the underlying factor for the continuous contemporary development of the town for mankind, headlining the reign of HRM Oba Abdul Rasheed Ayotunde Olabomi (Odundun IV), the Aragbiji of Iragbiji.

"The federal government's University of Agriculture and Tropical Studies, recently cited in Iragbiji, is a natural course of corresponding response to the ordered stability, extant in the town, fostering the culture of tolerance and good neighborliness, and generally, galvanizes peaceful and harmonious environment. Iragbiji where I was born and bred is a place of pride," Ogungbangbe said, and commended the location of the new university.

The chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) from Ife/Ijesa axis, Osun East Senatorial District of the state noted that the Iragbiji traditional ruler's model of communication is receptive to the feedback responses on the community, constantly reviewed to identify the goals of the town for investments and development.

He expressed his views on phone, this dawn, as he enthused, "Baba Aragbiji doesn't exhibit any indifferences, or light hearted approach to royal assignments and he's consistent when it comes to unconditional commitment and customary pattern of thought, action or behaviour.

"Yes, thank you. On his leadership, Kabiyesi is, every minute, purpose-driven, and makes value based decisions that build trust and help his kingdom achieve the stated development goals with determination and dedication. 

"And the contrasting thing is that he prioritizes attention to those most susceptible to agitation or restlessness by giving them a sense of belongingness to the community, exposes them to useful engagements, address peace building and community security, and generally, invigorates the bridge between him and the community, supportive to driving growth and development of Iragbiji."

The heir apparent to the Ajagbusi Ekun Royal House of Iloko Ijesa in Oriade local government council area of the state posited that every action and inaction of Oba Ayotunde Olabomi preserves the Iragbiji cultural and traditional landmarks and specific practices and values, ensuring his interactive understanding with the handlers of the heritage stimulates ability to express their thoughts, builds faith and strengthen relationships.

The seasoned businessman, well footed in the Yoruba ethos of integrity, on prompting, tossed back on the appearances and utterances of Aragbiji of Iragbiji at public events when he remarked: "The Kabiyesi's public speaking dots on pace, and pause just as he postures to clarity and cohesion, charisma and competence, and use of humour. While his appearance is grooming and his style and fit of clothing sit very well on his shoulders."

Ogungbangbe poured his best wishes for the Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, on this special birthday anniversary and prayed for the continued good health, long life, increased prosperity, and wisdom of Solomon for Odundun IV.
