'"We believe that this event, will among other things, promote the cultural heritage and unity of the African continent; project the uniqueness of African culture in a more positive light; open up new vistas for cultural artifacts as viable tools for socio-economic development; and acquitting all and sundry with the varied drums and dances that are peculiar to multi-ethnic groups in Africa, it is expected that with this platform, we must have re-energised the cultural zeal in the minds of our people and the resultant cultural resurgence will, in the long run, help us appreciate our African culture more than ever before and forge ahead culturally on a united front. It is an undeniable fact that drums and drumming are pivotal to the very existence of human life, particularly among Nigerians and, by extension Africans..." - Ogun State Governor His Majesty Ibikunle Amosun
