To celebrate her achievements, QCOGA instituted a memorial lecture tagged; “Celebrating the past with an eye on the future” in her memory. President, QCOGA, Professor Frances Olufunmilayo Ajose, (OGQC ’68) delivered the opening address titled, “Current Social Issues and Challenges for the future”, while Mrs. Laila St.

A procession of lit blue candles topped off the ceremony with rendition of the school’s song “Pass on the Torch” which is compulsory for every ‘Old Girl’ that passes on.

Responding to the tributes, Yinka Oladitan, son of the demised, expressed his gratitude for the lecture, which he said was pulled off at very short notice and promised to endow it annually. Family members graced the occasion as well as Old Girls and Queen’s College students.
