A group of Osun indigenes residing in Ghana has unveiled plans to establish a school in their country of residence, where the Yoruba language will be taught.

The group aims to ensure that children born and raised in Ghana can learn Yoruba, preserving the language and culture even in a foreign land.

During a courtesy visit to the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, in his palace, the group disclosed their intentions and outlined the steps they would take to make the project a reality.

The president of the group, Ayokanmi Ogunremi, who hails from Iresi town in Osun, explained to journalists that their goal is to provide an opportunity for children in Ghana to learn Yoruba language and traditions.

“There are some things we cannot do by ourselves. When you want to establish a school in a foreign land, there are some documentation that they will require, and with the help of the governor, it will be easier.

The people we cannot talk to individually or as an association, the governor can speak for us and make it easier. That is why we need his support to realize this,” Ogunremi said.

The group also sought the blessing and advice of Oba Olanipekun on fostering interfaith dialogue and collaboration to address community challenges within Osogbo and beyond.

Ogunremi commended the monarch for his efforts in promoting peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths in Osogbo.

“We humbly seek your blessings and your invaluable fatherly advice, particularly on fostering interfaith dialogue and collaboration in addressing community challenges within Osogbo and beyond.

“We are particularly interested in learning from your leadership on maintaining religious tolerance and promoting peace and progress,” he said.

Oba Olanipekun gave the group his royal blessing, affirming that Osogbo is the epitome of religious tolerance. He emphasized that Osogbo is a place where all religions coexist peacefully.
