” My mother was, and is, a mother like no other. She was an original Abiyamotooto. A mother who knew the value of education, even though she was not educated; Apart from God Almighty, my mother was the architect of my life and success. I owe my education to her selfless sacrifice and foresight”.
This was a paraphrase from the tribute of Ifedayo Adedipe SAN to her late mother who passed through thick and thin to ensured her children got the best education.
In memory of such inestimable jewel, Ifedayo Adedipe SAN, a former student of CAC Grammar School in Akure decided to build a Multi Million Naira Hall in the school in remembrance of his mother who valued education in spite of her inability to acquire formal education.
The hall to be named after Chief (Mrs) Morenike Esther Adamu Adedipe is one of the best hall any secondary school in Ondo State can boast of; the architecture was superb among other facilities for the comfort of the students.
During the inauguration of the hall, Otunba Omolade Oluwateru, the former deputy governor of Ondo State, who chaired the event commended the philanthropic gesture of Ifedayo Adedipe, SAN for giving back to his Alma mater and for also recognizing the noble contributions of his mother to his education.
According to the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, he said the selfless sacrifice of his mother made him who he is today. Describing his mother as a lover of education, epitome of love and humility.
There is nothing too much to invest in the memory of a jewel of inestimable value like Late Chief (Mrs) Morenike Esther Adamu Adedipe, she has paid her price but death is inevitable; left to Ifedayo Adedipe SAN and his siblings, they wish their mother could have live another 20 years.
