The recently commissioned Obanta Centre in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, stands tall as a shining example of architectural brilliance—thanks to the exceptional talent and dedication of a young and visionary architect, Arch. Abdulazeez Fagbohun.
Hailing from Oke Idan and proudly based in Owode Yewa, Ogun State, Arch. Abdulazeez is the creative force behind this state-of-the-art facility, which has quickly become the pride of Ijebu-Ode and a focal point of admiration across the region.
Commissioned by Ogbeni Oja of Ijebu land, Dr. Sunny Kuku.he Obanta Centre is a bold statement of what is possible when youthful innovation meets unwavering commitment. The complex features a swimming pool, viewing centre, event centre, and cinema, all integrated in a seamless and modern design that reflects not just technical skill, but visionary planning.
What makes this achievement even more profound is Abdulazeez’s active involvement with the Islamic Youths Development Association (IYDA). Mentored by great leaders within our association, Abdulazeez has continually exhibited qualities of brilliance, leadership, discipline, and community-oriented thinking.
As an association, we are proud that one of our own is making remarkable strides and flying the flag high—not just for Owode Yewa, but for Ogun State and Nigeria at large. Abdulazeez’s success is a true reflection of one of IYDA’s core objectives: nurturing talents who go on to contribute meaningfully to society and inspire others along the way.
The Obanta Centre is more than a physical structure; it is a hub for social, cultural, and economic activities, and a symbol of what can be achieved when purpose meets passion. It embodies Abdulazeez’s vision for a modern and sustainable community a vision we believe will continue to unfold in even greater projects.
We celebrate Abdulazeez Fagbohun as a rising star in architecture, and we pray that Allah continues to guide and uplift him as he soars to greater heights. His journey is not only inspiring but also a call to other youths to stay committed, focused, and service-driven.
