SIFAX Group has announced its sponsorship of the 2025 Ojude Oba Festival, reinforcing its dedication to preserving Nigeria’s cultural heritage. The company described the sponsorship as a reflection of its longstanding commitment to national values and cultural preservation.
In a statement released by the SIFAX Group Media Office, Mr. Muyiwa Akande, Group Head, Corporate Communications, said the company is proud to be associated with one of Nigeria’s most iconic cultural festivals.
“This sponsorship reflects our deep commitment to preserving and promoting Nigeria’s rich cultural legacy,” Akonde stated.
Held annually in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the Ojude Oba Festival is a major cultural and religious celebration that honours the Awujale, the traditional ruler of the Ijebu people. The festival brings together thousands of participants, including age-grade groups (regberegbes), horse-riding families, dignitaries, and tourists from across the globe.
SIFAX Group’s sponsorship of the 2025 edition underscores the growing recognition of the private sector’s role in promoting cultural identity. Known primarily for its operations in ports, logistics, and maritime services, SIFAX Group’s involvement highlights a broader corporate philosophy that extends beyond commerce to national development and cultural pride.
The Ojude Oba Festival has become a symbol of unity, elegance, and tradition. Its vivid parades, traditional attire, and symbolic tributes to the Awujale offer a glimpse into Nigeria’s cultural richness. For many, SIFAX’s participation in the festival rekindles memories of the vibrant atmosphere that defines the event each year.
Observers note that as Nigeria continues to pursue economic progress, the preservation of its diverse cultural identities remains a key part of its development story. Corporate sponsorships such as SIFAX’s play a vital role in ensuring that treasured cultural traditions are not only sustained but also celebrated on a larger scale.
