Oodua Museum opens in Ibadan! The apartment housing the museum is divided into two, giving visitors the option of choosing the museum or the hall of fame from the main entrance. Tastefully decorated and equipped with a blend of contemporary collections, the museum and hall of fame were conceived to preserve and promote the heritage of the Yoruba and by extension educate and entertain tourists about the Yoruba people and culture. The design aims to replicate the traditional Yoruba village setting and thus evoke a sense of nostalgia in those familiar with such. The wall of the museum and hall of fame – right from the staircase of the 23rd floor that leads to the penthouse – is adorned with artistic impressions, paintings and carvings while the vast collection of antique art and craft connect the past with the future. 1 Like |

Ibadan comes alive with mega stores, high rise buildings badan, the capital of Oyo State, is enjoying a boom of sort in real estate business as shopping malls and multi-storey buildings spring up in the ancient city. OSEHEYE OKWUOFU reports. If you have not been to Ibadan in the last couple of years you may be pardoned for thinking you are in a wrong place when you get to the Oyo State capital now as the architectural face of the ancient city is fast giving way to modernity The largest city in West Africa, has in the last few years, especially since the coming of the present administration in Oyo State, witnessed an increase in the number of high rise/multi-storey buildings and modern shopping malls, a development that has equally impacted on the economy of the city as well as the way the people do their shopping. For decades the only imposing structure in Ibadan was the 25-storey Cocoa House situated at Dugbe, the city’s Central Business District, with a few lesser high rise buildings in the same area while shopping was largely restricted to a few super markets and stores also in the CBD. But, that is now changing, no thanks to private investors that have pumped billions of Naira into real estate business in the city, taking advantage of the massive infrastructural development being carried out by the state government in the capital city and elsewhere in Oyo State. The Cocoa Mall recently sprang up in the centre of the city from the premises of the defunct Daily Sketch newspapers, bringing along with it mega stores and the likes. And just when people thought probably that was enough, the Ibadan Mall, penultimate Thursday opened opposite the High Court premises along the ever busy Ring Road. The imposing mall which housed other stores including the popular Shoprite became the second after the commissioning of the Cocoa Mall, where Shoprite made its first debut in the capital city. The business climate was set for what was arguably the biggest event in town. There was massive turnout of people who have been waiting anxiously to have a taste of the assorted goods on display. An elated customer, one of many who came to patronise the big stores, Alade Okediran a civil servant described the Ibadan Mall as an evidence of economic growth and good things coming into the city. He noted that apart from affordable prices, Shoprite would offer the people multiple alternatives. Okediran said, ”I loved it as one of the first people to visit here and see for myself what Shoprite has to offer and now that I have seen and purchased some of the products I have this extraordinary feeling that truly Ibadan is witnessing an unusual growth. And it is nice for the people. We need to move forward and join other countries of the world. What I see here is great.” It was gathered that the magnificent edifice which stood on the former Ibadan refuse dumpsite was constructed by Broll Nigeria Limited, owners of the Ibadan Mall. With finest floor tiles and colourful interior decorations, the Mall enjoys the patronage of other store owners aside from the big Shoprite store that has almost 70 percent of the shop space inside the Mall. Shoprite being the first to open its store with fun-fare parades choicest West Bakery, seafood, barbeque, butchery, dairy, hot foods, liquor, and toy world sections among others. Mr. Fatai Oshungboye, Ibadan Mall Shoprite Branch Manager, who spoke with The Nation expressed confidence on the Shoprite brand, adding that it was the brand that actually drives the crowd to patronise the Mall. He described the patronage at the Mall as very wonderful when contrasting it with what obtains in other stores. Apart from the Shoprite stores that had opened for business, the multi million naira mall still has some sections under construction with electrical fittings, painting, laying of floor and wall tiles and installation of cooling system yet to be completed. According to the Shoprite branch Manager, the unoccupied stores would in a couple of weeks come on board. Not too far away from the Ibadan Mall is the Cocoa building premises inside which is located the Cocoa Heritage Mall which consists of no fewer than 140 different stores and big super markets including the Shoprite stores which had continued to thrill the inhabitants of the ancient city. Other areas like Challenge, Mokola, Sango, Sabo, Oremeji, Agodi, Eleyele, Oke-Ado and Ojoo have seen the emergence of high rise buildings and big stores with increased economic activities in different places. The imposing magnificent buildings with assorted offices in some places were up for let with sign-boards containing names and addresses of property agents inscribed boldly. In other parts of the city, it was observed that developers have bought over many old properties and redeveloped them to modern architectural designs and thereafter put them on lease. A renowned property developer in the city, Chief Olajide Idowu, described the inflow of investments in real estate as a welcome development. He said the growth in real sectors of the economy is in conformity with the sermon on sustainable economic development currently being preached all over the world. “Many advanced countries of the world started through the involvement of core private investors that brought about much sought after economic growth and development. Don’t forget the role played by property developers, it is a critical sector of the economy that must not be overlooked in any given economy. With more interest in this sector, the sky is the limit”, he said. An industrialist, Mr Moses Adeleke, who spoke on the accelerated economic growth being witnessed in Ibadan noted that the growth would not have been possible without an enabling and conducive environment in the state. Adeleke, however, called on the government to invest more in the power sector to assist manufacturers in their effort to grow the economy, lamenting that many investors could not survive on diesel to run their generators in the face of poor public electricity supply, a situation, he said stifles production and economic growth. Despite the challenges, Adeleke alluded to the ongoing transformation in the physical infrastructure and economic growth in the city and ascribed the development to the provision of enabling environment by the state government, which has made urban renewal and massive road construction a major plank of its development programme. Analysts are also pointing at the atmosphere of peace that now pervades the city and the entire state since the coming on board of the Abiola Ajimobi administration in Oyo State as another factor responsible for the rise of the real estate sector. 2 Likes |
