In line with the existing historical and traditional governance structure of Ijebu Ode, the governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun has constituted an Administrative body to superintend over the management of various administrative and traditional responsibilities during the period of transition, until a new Awujale is installed.
A statement signed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, reiterated the commitment of the government to ensuring stability, continuity, and respect for the cherished traditions of Ijebu Ode during this transition period.
The membership of the Administrative body includes; Chief Folorunso Sunny Kuku (Ilamuren) – Chairman, Chief Oluwaranti Lekan Osifeso (Madassa) – Secretary, Chief Stepehen Bakare Oluwalogbon (Ilamuren), Chief Bisola Oluneye Okuboyejo (Ilamuren) and Chief Funmilola Okunowo (Ilamuren).
