The Oluwo of Igbore, Chief Anthony Olayiwola Oliyide thanked Alake of Egbaland for ensuring the recognition and installation of Oba Oladele Odugbemi as Onilisa of Lisa. 

Chief Oliyide explained that the journey of installing Oba Odugbemi as Baale of Lisa and now as the crown traditional ruler started in 2006, expressed his gratitude to Alake of Egbaland for making the dream a reality. 

He urged Onilisa of Lisa to bring his subjects together for steady development of Lisa community. 

The Onilisa of Lisaland, Oba Oladele Odugbemi appreciated Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland for making the installation and today's homage a reality, assuring of his absolute loyalty to the traditional institution in the state. 

Oba Odugbemi called on the people of Lisa to rally round him for meaningful development and total peace in the community. 

He therefore restated his call for the government to address the issue of bad road from Ijoko - Lisa community for easy vehicular movement and to promote commerce and industry to flourish in Lisa.
