Chief Mrs. Alaba Lawson, the esteemed Iyalode of Yoruba land, has left behind a legacy that will serve as a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.
During her funeral and commemoration ceremony held at the African Church, Cathedral of St. James, Idi-Ape, Ago-Oko, Abeokuta, we were deeply moved by the remarkable life and accomplishments of this extraordinary educationist.
Chief Alaba Lawson was an incredible woman who made indelible imprints and lasting impacts, not only within our beloved State, but across the entire nation. She was an exceptional philanthropist, whose altruistic endeavors garnered numerous accolades throughout her lifetime. Her contributions to society were profound and far-reaching.
The loss of Chief Lawson is a great tragedy for the Lawson family of Abeokuta; she was akin to a precious gem within their midst. Additionally, the Association of Academics in Nigeria mourns the passing of an esteemed member, whose intellectual brilliance was unrivaled. Her eventful life will continue to serve as a wellspring of inspiration, particularly for the younger generation.
Chief Lawson was an unwavering cultural ambassador, diligently promoting the rich cultural heritage and traditions of her people, specifically through her advocacy for the Adire fabrics. Furthermore, as a fearless and tireless advocate for women's rights, she was always ready to make sacrifices for the betterment of society.
Not only was she a loving and devoted mother to her own children, but also to those who sought her guidance and care. Her impact on their lives was profound. Moreover, Chief Lawson was a staunch supporter of our administration, and as a government, we are committed to preserving and perpetuating the legacy of our beloved Iyalode Oluwaseun Alaba Lawson.
