Following the postponement of the Ife Fiesta, the organizers of the programme seem to have re-arranged and repackaged the Fiesta to give all VIPs and attendees the best of what Ile-Ife has to offer. Though the event was to hold during the Easter break, it had to be pushed forward to allow for more plans and a well organised concert.
The Fiesta is to enact the declaration of Ile-ife as a tourist zone by HRM Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II.
The event will be enjoying a lot of Media coverage and even a live broadcast to Africa and the world. We are expecting 200 VVIPs and about 8,000 VIPS with about 30million people viewing from across the world.
We are opening up Ile-Ife to the world. It is for the world to know we have a King and a city in southwestern Nigeria that are open to massive partnerships from both Local Direct Investments and Foreign Direct Investments, and we are using tourism as a vehicle to make that happen". Ayo George concluded.
The event is slated to happen at Afewonro/Enuwa Square, Palace Of Ooni of Ife and Many Nigerian Celebrities are also expected to be present. Falz, Simi, 9ice, Lil Kesh and a whole lot of other Nigerian artistes are also expected to perform at the fiesta this weekend.
