Speaking at the event, Dr Adeleke expressed his deep respect and love for his mother and the church community by contributing to the Centenary Endowment Fund. 

“In honour of our late mother, senior mother in Israel, late Mrs Esther Adeleke, I donate one billion naira to the centenary endowment fund of the C & S Church,” he said.

The high point of the thanksgiving was a lecture delivered by the Deputy Baba Aladura, Elder Dr. H.O. Demuren, who commended the Adeleke family for their longstanding dedication to philanthropy and service.

 “The Adeleke family and their members are rare gems. They serve the Lord and humanity in humility and consistency,” Elder Demuren stated.
