Check out the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ photos of the beautiful sculpture adorning the entrance of the Oyo State Government Secretariat Ibadan. The Sculpture which is a ‘Talking drum’, the type that is called ‘Iya Ilu’ has come to be an identity for the Yoruba race world-wide.

It is also an item on the logo of Oyo State and it has regularly been the sole item that the Government packages as gifts to all Visitors to the State.

Kudos to the artistes that did this. Soooo Beautiful.
