The project was commissioned on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at the palace of the Osolo of Isolo Kingdom, Oba Isa Abiodun Faronbi-Shekoni, during a ceremony attended by members of the royal cabinet and senior executives of the company.

Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Promasidor Nigeria, François Gillet, said the initiative underscored the company’s commitment to improving lives within its host communities.
