The Remo Child project was born in the wake of 2014 by some young passionate Remo Youths who believe in economic, social and cultural development of Remo people. The purpose of the initiative is to celebrate and encourage Remo talented youths to becoming one of (if not the best) of their kinds.
Therefore, under this score we reasoned that this is vital in any common cultural ground. But to be specific, on the following grounds:
(a) To celebrate, support and promote brainy among men.
(b) Empowerment of the less-privileges who will tomorrow makes Remo proud.
(c) To educate and preserve Remo valuable culture and tradition.
(d) To reach-out to physically challenged and less-privileges.
(e) To disseminate first-hand progressive information to our people.
However, it would be worthwhile to mention names of the initiators of the Remo Child:
(a) Olootu Seyi Idris
(b) Hon. Babatunde Ayorinde
(c) Mr. Yomi Fagbemi
(d) Abimbola Osisanwo
(e) Mr. Adegbuyi Oduguwa (UK)
(f) Mr. Arogundade Oluwakeji (Cyprus)
(g) Ms. Abiodun Adebisi
(h) And my humble self.
For the year, The Committee had met and agreed on common ground to select Mr. Isaac Ibikunle as 2015 Remo Child.
