I am hopeful that with the support of the Ogun   State Government through the ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and of course, the Yewa Traditional Council,  Coronet Oba’s will be installed in Ado area as soon as possible and more Baales will be installed to reclaim and protect the nooks and cranny of our domain.
