In a time where creativity and innovation are essential for social and economic advancement, Michael Gomwalk Adebowale, the Executive Producer and Project Lead of OtaFEST 2025, is redefining the connection between entertainment and community impact. Adebowale explains that OtaFEST is “more than a festival; it’s a celebration of culture, innovation, and people.” He highlights its purpose thus: “OtaFEST aims to position Ota, Ogun State, as a thriving hub where music, sports, trade, and creativity converge to promote tourism, business, and youth engagement.” Set for November 29, 2025, OtaFEST will showcase a major music concert, an international boxing match (for the WBB Middleweight Africa Title), a kids’ amusement park, and a trade fair, all in one unforgettable day. According to Adebowale, OtaFEST serves not just as an entertainment platform but as a movement that empowers local businesses, brands, and young creatives by providing visibility, networking opportunities, and a chance to engage in Ogun State’s burgeoning creative economy. “This festival symbolizes what can be achieved when creativity, collaboration, and purpose unite,” he adds. “Through OtaFEST, we are putting Ota in the global spotlight and unlocking new opportunities for growth, innovation, and pride,” he said. With an anticipated attendance of over 25,000 participants, OtaFEST is poised to become the largest cultural and entertainment event in Ogun State, serving as a model for how festivals can foster both economic value and social transformation. As preparations ramp up, Adebowale and his team at Hertz Universe PR, the executive producers of OtaFEST, are inviting brands, creatives, and organisations to be part of this historic celebration.
