HCBBO Foundation Associated with Igogo-Owo Festival 2026
The High Chiefs Bode and Betty Osedimilehin (HCBBO) Foundation is pleased to be associated with the Igogo-Owo Festival, as part of its continued commitment to supporting education, empowering young people, and contributing positively to the Owo community.
The association is timely given the Foundation’s planning of support for its 2026 Scholarship Programme, which it aims to facilitate this September to support worthy students in fulfilling their dreams of attaining an education.
The Igogo-Owo Festival
The Igogo-Owo Festival is an important annual cultural celebration of the people of Owo in Ondo State, bringing together tradition, history and community.
The festival is famous for its elaborate ceremonies, traditional costumes, music, dance, and various cultural forms that celebrate the heritage of the Owo people.
For those experiencing the Igogo-Owo Festival for the first time, the festival serves as a window into the culture and practices of this Nigerian society.
It is much more than just a colourful fanfare. Rather, it is a continuum—connecting and carrying over the past to the present, perpetuating Owo’s name and ensuring a future generation that, by understanding and participating in these cherished traditions, is equipped to cherish and perpetuate such practices.

HCBBO Foundation and the Future of Owo
For HCBBO Foundation, supporting an occasion that celebrates this heritage is also an opportunity to reinforce its commitment to the future of the community. Culture preserves our identity, while education helps prepare the next generation to carry that identity forward.
With support through our scholarships and other outreach activities, HCBBO Foundation continues to provide opportunities, believing that every deserving youth gets a chance to learn, achieve and have a brighter future.
As the Igogo-Owo Festival brings people together in celebration, HCBBO Foundation looks forward to supporting the spirit of community and hope that surrounds the occasion, while continuing its educational support through the 2026 Scholarship Programme this September.
Celebrating our heritage. Supporting education. Empowering the next generation.
