“Personally speaking, saying I’m happy to identify with this project will be an understatement because it’s awesome. The essence of my visit is that I want to have a kind of collaboration with Ikogosi Resort centre and other relaxation places and I felt it is necessary to bring adire Ekiti to the centres for more patronage by fun seekers, thereby showcasing to the whole wide world” she said.
