Balogun said: “Being the maiden edition the Arewa As 2018 has been put together to commemorate the age long unique festival of Osun Osogbo. The introduction of this pageantry is borne out of passion for our culture and values.

“We are also using this socio-cultural event to rejuvenate, promote and reposition our lost heritage and values. We are bringing back the lost Yoruba culture and tradition that have caused a severe societal decadence among the youths.”
