The President of the institute, Alh. Tijjani Borodo, led a delegation to the home of the deceased, who was their member until her death on Oct. 28 in Abeokuta.
In his remarks, Borodo eulogised the late Iyalode, describing her as a remarkable and exceptional individual who exemplified a true spirit of collaboration.

“Throughout her time with us, Iyalode Lawson exemplified the true spirit of collaboration, always ready to lend a helping hand and share her wealth of knowledge and experience with others.
“She possessed a rare combination of candour, expertise and humility, making her approachable and respected by all,” Borodo said.
He admonished the Lawson children to continue in the good path their mother had laid, praying that the almighty God would grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Mr Akinola Lawson, one of the deceased’s sons, thanked the delegation on behalf of the family and prayed that God would continue to preserve them all.
