Everyone should participate in agricultural ventures that can help build our economy,” he said.

He expressed gratitude to the clergy and members of the Diocese for their consistent prayers and support towards the success of the state government’s agricultural initiatives.
Addressing the theme of the Women’s Conference, “Fitness for God’s Kingdom,” Archbishop Aladekugbe urged believers to prioritize spiritual discipline over material pursuits. He warned against distractions, greed, and moral decay, calling on Christians to strengthen their faith through prayer, worship, and studying the Word of God.
Presenting the communiqué at the end of the event, Mrs. Catherine Aladekugbe, President of the Ibadan North Anglican Diocesan Women and Girls Organization, encouraged Nigerians to shun evil and live righteously, assuring that faithfulness to God brings blessings both now and in eternity.
The event was graced by dignitaries including Oyo State Permanent Secretaries Mrs. Abosede Owoeye and Dr. Kola Badmus, General Manager of the Oyo State Printing Press Mr. Victor Muyiwa Kayode, and several association leaders, clergy members, and traditional rulers.
