The Igogo Festival is one of Nigeria’s most historic royal cultural festivals celebrated
annually in Owo Land, Ondo State, under the leadership of the Olowo of Owo over the past
600 years.
In the past few years, we have been making plans to raise the status of the historic festival. In
2026, plans are in top gear to further elevate the festival under the leadership of His Imperial
Majesty, Oba (Dr) Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, the Paramount Ruler of Owo Land.
Your role as media partners is essential in amplifying Nigeria’s cultural heritage and
positioning Igogo as a global tourism event.
