He spoke when he led the management team of the JAALS Foundation on a visit to the Olubadan-designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
Aderemi stressed that traditional institutions have played a key role in maintaining law and order and contributing to national development.
The JAALS Director outlined the various ways in which traditional authorities can support good governance, including providing advice to the government, participating in regional administration, promoting development projects, and resolving conflicts.
He highlighted the crucial role of traditional rulers in the society, noting their historical significance as the foundation of human existence and the traditional authority of human management.
Aderemi urged the government at different levels to engage the traditional institutions more in governance.
He presented a formal letter of invitation to the Olubadan-Designate for the Foundation’s upcoming annual conference.
Aderemi said the conference will be chaired by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN).
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, will deliver the keynote paper on the bicameral nature of the Nigerian legislative system and explore the continued relevance of having both legislative chambers in Nigeria.
Aderemi expressed condolences on the passing of the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Olalekan Balogun, while also congratulating Oba Owolabi Olakulehin on his upcoming coronation as the 43rd Olubadan.
