The role that the Ogbadibo Carnival will play in tourism and cultural development of the state and the country will be massive. According to the organizer Comrade Johnson Agada, the carnival was borne out of the desire to provide the needed support to the people in preserving and projecting the ogbadibo culture and values. This, he said in a statement, would further put the Carnival on the international pedestal as well as galvanise its potential to generate revenue for the state, local government and engender bonding within the three district that makes up the local government “We strongly believe in the ideals of the Ogbadibo Carnival. We have watched with keen interest the passion with which the state government, community and local government has continued to celebrate there people’s culture and values and so the best way to celebrate our people and to bring back the loss glory of the land is to celebrate ourselves and enlighten the people about their lack of knowledge in the customs, norms and tradition of their father land.. He further explained that the Carnival will provides a platform for all district to showcase their and the people in general, that the whole street of Ogbadibo wil be flooded with colours and dancers, Comrade Agada who assured that the carnival would strengthen all sons and daughters of Ogbadibo local government of its participation in the project, maintained that everybody would become a strong pillar behind the yearly event.
