The Ogun State government, in conjunction with the federal government, has unveiled a plan to immortalize the popular Ransome-Kuti family by turning their ancestral home in Abeokuta to a museum.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, gave the indication on Wednesday when he visited the house located on NEPA Road, Isabo, Abeokuta, in company with Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
He said the museum would be known as the Heritage Museum. The minister lauded the initiative with a pledge to partner the state government in achieving the project. He said it would be a model for inspiration to the youth.
Amosun promised to deliver the project soon, adding that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s family contributed to laying the foundation for what he called a greater Ogun State.
