The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has nominated three Mogajis to fill vacant positions created within the city's traditional hierarchy.
The nominations were made in consultation with the Olubadan-in-Council, according to a statement issued by the Administrative Secretary of the Olubadan-in-Line Traditional Chiefs, Sanusi Akinkunmi.
The three nominees are businessman and philanthropist Wole Arisekola, Kabiru Ademola Makinde and Charles Durosaro.
The vacancies emerged following the deaths of a High Chief and other chiefs within the traditional structure, creating openings along the lines of succession.
The Olubadan's latest nominations are part of efforts to restore the affected positions and maintain continuity within Ibadan's traditional administration.
The traditional institution said the nomination of one remaining vacant position would be decided and announced at a later date.
The date and arrangements for the official installation ceremony will also be communicated through further directives from the Olubadan.
Mogajis occupy an important position in Ibadan's traditional system, traditionally serving as heads of family compounds and forming part of the established hierarchy through which chiefs progress.
The Olubadan-in-Council works alongside the monarch in managing traditional affairs and succession arrangements within Ibadanland.
The latest appointments therefore form part of the broader process of maintaining the structure and continuity of the ancient Ibadan chieftaincy system.
The development comes shortly after the Olubadan palace installed other Mogajis and Baales, with the monarch urging traditional title holders to protect the dignity of the institution and promote the interests of their communities.
The newly nominated Mogajis are expected to await the formal installation process before fully assuming their traditional responsibilities.
For Ibadan, the nominations represent another step in filling vacancies and strengthening the traditional hierarchy under Oba Ladoja's leadership.
