For the 2021 edition of the Oyo Si Ma Dun, OSMD, Summit scheduled for May 5, the convener and founder of Sodium Group, Mr Abisoye Fagade, is dragging many hip-hop stars, film producers, bloggers and others to Ibadan, his hometown.
Fagade, who recently hosted media influencers in the capital city, stressed that his annually held summit was to fulfill his yearning to create a community engagement network used to connect with people, engage them in decision-making, and build trust through dialogue and participation.
According to him, “OSMD is a socio – political movement formed to organize and mobilise people to actively pursue common political objectives. It helps groups of people who are concerned about a particular issue or idea join forces to demand government action.
“OSMD network helps people who share concerns about long-standing societal problems and believe that their rights and interests are not being adequately represented. The Network has evolved from a grassroots group into an interest group that lobbies government officials to make people centric decisions that will help foster economic growth and development.
“The OSMD network summit is one of the vehicles used in bridging knowledge gaps and building a new set of Nigerians who are aware and mentally capable of leading”.
“The second series of the summit will hold on May 5 at the Mauve Events Centre in Ibadan to a select audience while others watch online. The theme of the edition was revealed to be
