The Iyaloja-General of Oyo State, Princess Folashade Abeo Nurudeen, has led market leaders on a thank-you visit to Otunba Seye Famojuro, pledging to promote unity, peaceful coexistence and cooperation among traders across the state’s 33 local government areas.

The visit was aimed at expressing appreciation for the support received by the market leadership and reinforcing efforts to strengthen relationships among traders, artisans and other stakeholders in Oyo State.

Princess Abeo’s pledge comes as the state moves to consolidate its market leadership structure following the confirmation of her appointment as Iyaloja-General by Governor Seyi Makinde. The appointment is expected to strengthen coordination among market associations and promote a more unified trading community.

The new Iyaloja-General has consistently emphasised the importance of reconciliation and collective progress, urging market leaders to put aside their differences and work together for the benefit of traders throughout the state.

The initiative also reflects the broader need for collaboration between market associations and influential stakeholders to address traders’ concerns, improve market administration and support commercial activities across Oyo State.

Princess Abeo’s commitment to unity is expected to be central to her leadership as she works with market representatives from different local government areas to promote harmony and advance the interests of traders and artisans.

The development comes amid renewed efforts to strengthen the organisation of market associations in Oyo State, with the government expressing confidence that cooperation among the newly recognised market leaders will contribute to commercial growth and economic development.
