On Friday, February 22nd, a delegation of the Afro Old Students Association paid a formal condolence visit to Mrs. Olabisi Ladipo following the passing of her husband, the iconic Mr. Kayode Ladipo, popularly known as “Sir Kay.”
The visit served as a moment of reflection and solidarity, honoring a man whose life was inextricably linked to the history of our institution. Mr. Ladipo holds the distinct honor of being the first Afro Old Student to rise to the position of Principal, breaking barriers and setting a standard of excellence for all who followed in his footsteps.
During the visit, members shared fond memories of “Sir Kay’s” leadership, discipline, and the profound impact he had on the lives of countless students during his tenure.
Mrs Olufumiayo Adekeye immediate past principal of African Church Grammar School Junior described Sir Kay as a cheerful giver saying that he Late Mr Ladipo was instrumental to the construction of a multimillion staff room at the junior school.
