Lagos host community of major corporate organisations and foreign embassies, the Iru Kingdom has established a business network to boost investors’ confidence.
Speaking at the launch, His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, the Oniru of Iru Kingdom, described the business network as a new chapter in the socioeconomic evolution of Iruland.
He added that the business network is aimed at creating a formal, organised, and trusted platform for ongoing engagement between cultural institutions, private sector actors, government agencies, and the wider community resident in Iru Kingdom.
“It is a response to growing and consistent demand from stakeholders across Iruland for a credible structure through which conversations can progress into tangible and measurable action.
“Over time, business owners, corporate leaders, community representatives, government officials, and traditional leaders have all expressed a shared need: a well-governed, respectful, and predictable space where interests can be articulated clearly, concerns can be heard, and proposals can be translated into real interventions that improve livelihoods and foster development.
“It is within this context that the Iru Business Network has been conceived; as a platform that provides order, continuity, and clarity to the evolving relationship between culture, commerce, and community in Iruland,” he said.

“The Iru Business Network is designed to build bridges between culture, commerce, and community development. It provides a trusted platform where traditional institutions, the private sector, and the government can engage transparently and constructively,” the monarch stated.

He hinted at the maiden edition of the Oniru Business & Cultural Day scheduled to hold on February 14, saying it was designed to bring together a wide spectrum of stakeholders to chart a way for growth in the kingdom.

“This vision positions the Palace as a steady anchor in the midst of rapid urban, commercial, and demographic transformation in Iruland, ensuring that as development progresses, it remains guided by shared values, mutual respect, and a strong sense of community.

“At the heart of this new architecture of engagement lies the Oniru Business & Cultural Day, a one-day flagship event that will serve as a major convergence point for Iru Kingdom’s dynamic and diverse economic and cultural ecosystem,” he said.

The state’s Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade, and Investment, Folashade Bada Ambrose, described the Oniru Business and Cultural Day as a strategic response to the need for structure and partnership.

“It provides a platform where indigenous and expatriate businesses can showcase their products and services, tell their stories, and connect with clients, investors, and collaborators.

“It brings government MDAs, financial institutions, development partners, and the private sector together for dialogue that is not abstract, but directed toward solutions for real issues such as access to finance, compliance frameworks, infrastructure, tourism development, local content, digital adoption, and youth employment,” she said.
