Chief Kola Jamodu, the Chairman of Nigerian Breweries and former Minister of Industry, has been installed as the Asiwaju of Ere Kingdom in Kogi State. The ceremony took place at the palace of the Elere of Ere, Oba Titus Makanjuola, at Odo-Ere, headquarters of Yagba West Local Council last week.
The title was given to Jamodu four years ago but a formal ceremony was never conducted to officially inaugurate the chief into his new role. The boardroom guru’s honour was not by accident but a reward for his resilience in ensuring that Ere progressed with its peers.
The event was graced by dignitaries and traditional rulers in Kogi State and its environs. While expressing his profound gratitude about the honour, Jamodu appreciated Ere Kingdom for finding him worthy to be conferred with the chieftaincy title, adding that the title would encourage him to continue to render valuable services to our kingdom.
