The governor of Ondo State, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has made it compulsory for all schools in the state to render Oodua anthem.
This was contained in a circular issued by the government through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
The lyrics of the Oodua Anthem goes thus;
- Ise wa fun ile wa
Fun Ile Ibi Wa
Ka gbee ga
Ka gbee ga
Ka gbee ga
fun aye ri - Igbagbo wa ni pe
Bati beru

Ka sise

ka jo la - Isokan ati ominira
Ni ke je ka maa lepa
Tesiwaju f opo ire
Ati ohun to dara - Omo Oodua dide
Bo si ipo eto re
Iwo ni imole
Gbogbo Adulawo
