In line with its forte of pioneering things and scoring first encapsulated in the “Owu la koda” mantra, the Olowu of Owu, Oba Prof. Saka Adelola Matemilola FNSE, (Otileta VII) will today declare open the maiden session of OLOWU MEDIATION CENTRE, at Itapa Olowu, Oke Ago-Owu, Abeokuta.
According to a release signed by the Towulade of Akinale, Oba Olufemi Ogunleye, the programme will start at 11 am.
The maiden Olowu Mediation Centre will settle civil disputes among Owu communities and their neighbours through time-tested, established Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme.
