The council’s President, Fayemi Fakayode, made the call in a statement issued in Ibadan, Oyo State, to commemorate the 2025 Isese Day celebration.

The PUNCH reports that Oyo, Lagos, Ogun, and Osun state governments had declared Wednesday a work-free day in honour of this year’s Isese Day.

Fakayode urged governors of Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara, Kogi, Edo and Delta states to emulate their South-West counterparts by recognising every August 20 as Isese holiday.

He said, “We call for national recognition from President Tinubu through the declaration of August 20th and 21st as public holidays for Isese across Nigeria.

“We also want the government to fund cultural festivals, protect shrines and sacred lands and integrate practitioners into cultural councils like it is being done for Muslims and Christians.”

He also appealed to the Presidency to end the “present state of inequality” among the three major religions in the country by granting due recognition to Isese practitioners through a national holiday.

While congratulating adherents worldwide, the ICIR president commended the South-West governors for backing the celebration.

He further urged the Federal Government to invest in cultural sites across the country to boost revenue and community development.

“Isese represents the foundation of Yoruba and African identity; it embodies morality, unity, reverence for nature and communal living. Celebrating Isese safeguards our heritage, promotes pride in our culture and strengthens enduring values, such as honesty, respect and hard work,” he added.
