Erelu, who became Erelu in her 20s, stressed the importance of getting information from credible sources.
She shared, “I’m almost 80 years old and I’ve acquired another century of information myself. If I say something, I say it based on at least 300 years of verified facts.”
Erelu Dosumu highlighted the need for collaboration between government and key stakeholders to generate interest and awareness of the value of their culture to the world.
According to her, the Oodua Cultural Renaissance Center will serve as a training ground for languages, promotion of local cuisine, art and talent development, thereby contributing to the growth of the economy.
