Youths Set To Storm Sagamu Town Hall For Crucial Press Conference On Remo-Ijebu State Creation

The agitation for the creation of Remo-Ijebu State has gained significant momentum as youths from across Remoland and Ijebuland are set to converge at Sagamu Town Hall on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 12 noon for a high-profile Press Conference and Interactive Session.

This landmark gathering, expected to attract youth leaders, community stakeholders, and political figures, aims to foster discussions on the long-standing demand for a separate state that will unite the historical and cultural ties between the Remo and Ijebu people.

The clamor for Remo-Ijebu State has been ongoing for decades, with proponents arguing that the division from Ogun State will bring enhanced development, autonomy, and better governance. The upcoming interactive session will serve as a platform for the youth to engage directly with stakeholders, voice their aspirations, and strategize on the next course of action.

Speaking ahead of the event, the committee chairman, Comrade Sodiya Lateef emphasized the importance of youth participation in shaping the destiny of their region.

“This is not just another meeting; it is a movement! The voices of young people must be heard loud and clear in the push for a Remo-Ijebu State. The press conference will give us a chance to present our case formally and seek broader support for this cause,” the committee PRO, Comrade Bashiru Hammed Adewale (Lahbash) stated.

The event will also highlight the economic, political, and cultural justifications for the proposed state, drawing from historical antecedents and recent precedents of state creation in Nigeria.

The interactive session will be structured into key segments, including:

1. Opening Address: A comprehensive overview of the demand for Remo-Ijebu State.

2. Panel Discussion: Experts, historians, and legal minds will shed light on the feasibility and benefits of the state creation.

The event is expected to serve as a turning point in the advocacy for Remo-Ijebu State, bringing the agitation to the forefront of national discourse.

The demand for a separate Remo-Ijebu State is deeply rooted in history, tracing back to pre-colonial times when the Remo and Ijebu people shared a common ancestry, culture, and economic interests. The argument for state creation is built on several compelling factors:

Cultural & Historical Identity: Remo and Ijebu people have a long history of unity, shared values, and mutual interests, making the creation of a joint state a natural step.

Economic Viability: The proposed state boasts rich natural resources, an industrial base, and agricultural potential, which could boost economic growth and self-sufficiency.

Administrative Efficiency: A new state will bring governance closer to the people, ensuring better development, infrastructure, and social services tailored to the region’s needs.

Precedents for State Creation: Nigeria has witnessed state creations based on cultural and economic viability, reinforcing the legitimacy of the Remo-Ijebu demand.

While state creation is often perceived as a political process, organizers emphasize that this movement transcends partisan interests. Youth leaders from various backgrounds, irrespective of party affiliations, are coming together to push for a common goal.

“This is not about political parties or individual interests; this is about the future of our people. We must unite, regardless of our differences, to ensure that Remo-Ijebu State becomes a reality,” the committee chairman, noted.

The upcoming press conference will also serve as an avenue to attract national and international attention to the cause. Media houses, journalists, bloggers, and social commentators are encouraged to cover the event and amplify the voices of the people.

Stakeholders, including elected representatives, business leaders, and civil society groups, are urged to support the movement and champion the legal and political framework needed to actualize Remo-Ijebu State.

The forthcoming Sagamu Town Hall Meeting marks a pivotal moment in the struggle for Remo-Ijebu State. It is a defining call for youths to take charge of their future, participate in governance discussions, and ensure that their voices resonate at both state and national levels.

As the date draws closer, anticipation continues to build, with many seeing this event as a historic turning point in the self-determination of the Remo and Ijebu people.
