The Ogun State Government has announced that the free entry initiative at the newly renovated Olumo Rock Tourist Complex will officially come to an end on Saturday, August 23, 2025.
In a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, the government expressed appreciation to residents, tourists, and visitors for what it described as an overwhelming and unprecedented turnout during the free entry period.
According to the statement, the initiative was introduced by Governor Dapo Abiodun to allow the public to rediscover and appreciate the cultural and historical significance of Olumo Rock after its renovation. It added that the objective had been fully achieved, with thousands of visitors taking advantage of the gesture.
However, government noted that the influx of visitors raised safety concerns, as overcrowding at certain times posed risks of a stampede, which were averted through the intervention of security agencies and on-site personnel.
“In view of this, and in line with government’s priority to safeguard lives, His Excellency has directed that the free entry initiative will come to an end on Saturday, 23rd August, 2025. Thereafter, normal access procedures will resume,” the statement read.
The Ogun State Government further assured the public of its continued commitment to ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience for all visitors to the Olumo Rock Tourist Complex.
