"The Sagamu day event, like we all know is usually a week long event like other respective towns in Remo which is often packed with several activities.

"The major part is often packed with youth event, in ensuring that this year Sagamu Day activities are adjudged the best by all Sagamites regardless of obvious limitations and circumstances.

"Hence, the youth body agreed to work together to archive a supposed unprecedented feet which necessitated the inauguration of 21 members committee, upon inauguration the mantra of engagement was centered on transparency, selfless service as our watch word.

"Unfortunately, we were informed that the palace requested that the Sagamu Day event be subject to questioning which eventually resulted into a two days event.

"Even though we have reservation about that development due to the fact that for two consecutive years we have not been able to hold this event while other towns held theirs successful, we became concerned and our moral was left gasping for breath, we afterwards met and resolve to make do with what we have which we did with a ₦100,000 kick off fund by S.D.A, we disbursed letters to all quarters but to our greatest disappointment most of our revered V.I.P did not respond nor did they participate while others played the hide and seek game of unavailability.

"We did it and made it happen with the limited resources and personality in all front.

"Amidst all we humbly and sincerely APPRECIATE this real MVP and distinguished personnel who donated and supported the youth Event while ensuring the youthful constituency is duly represented.
