Tribute to Auntie Funke Auntie, you were a truly supportive big sister. I appreciate your regular check-ins on me, for family matters and my business. You made sure I joined NNEW and kept checking that I participated and benefited from the various programs. I will surely miss you. “You have fought a good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. “ Rest well in The Lord’s bosom. xxx Dr. Agnes Fasehun

Tribute to Mrs K I received the news of Mrs K’s passing with great sadness. I remember one of our first few conversations at a garden in 2022, when you hinted at your faith in my abilities on a project. I remember your push during the execution of the 1st Ruby Summit that drove it to a resounding success. All I can say is: Mrs K, as you were fondly called, will be missed. Every conversation with you carried grace and wisdom. Thank you for your faithful service in NNEW — for stewarding resources with excellence and a human touch. May God comfort your family and strengthen the entire NNEW in this season. Rest in peace, ma.

TRIBUTE TO MRS K, MY OWN AUNTY FUNKE – A PHENOMENAL WOMAN ! I write not just to mourn a loss, but to celebrate an extraordinary life that left an indelible mark on everyone it touched. To the world, she was a remarkable leader and a consummate professional. To me, she was all of that—and so much more. She was my mentor, my big sister, and the guiding light who taught me almost everything I know about Events planning. ​ She possessed a rare combination of sharp brilliance, unwavering integrity, and effortless grace. She didn’t just navigate the business world; she commanded it, breaking barriers and setting a standard of excellence that inspired everyone around her. ​As a mentor, she was incredibly generous with her wisdom. (A mutual friend nudged me to register for Mrs K's TWC Training Academy as an Events planner). She took me under her wing, invested her time in my growth, and patiently taught me how to navigate the complexities of the industry. If I have achieved any success in business, it is because I had the privilege of standing on her shoulders. She believed in my potential even when I doubted it myself, pushing me to be bolder, smarter, and more resilient. "Kemi, you can do it…" was one of her favorite phrases to me. She was also quick to give a heartwarming "well done" whenever I did well either regarding any NNEW assignment or life in general. ​Beyond her stellar professional achievements as CEO of TWC Events and President of NNEW, her personality was awesome. ​To me, she seamlessly stepped into the role of a big sister. Her doors were always open, not just for business strategy, but for life advice, a reality check when I needed one, or a comforting word during tough times. Her guidance went far beyond NNEW connections, she would always call a spade a spade, never failing to set me straight where necessary. ​ ​What truly anchored her incredible life, however, was her deep and unwavering faith. She was a woman of profound Christian virtues, and her relationship with God wasn’t just something she spoke about—it was something she lived out every single day. ​Her kindness was a reflection of Christ's love. ​Her integrity in business was non-negotiable because she answered to a higher authority. ​The void she leaves behind is immense, and the ache of her absence is deeply felt. Yet, as I grieve, I also give thanks to God for the absolute privilege of knowing her, learning from her, and being loved by her. My only regret is not defying the harsh wintry weather a few months ago when you asked to see me. That memory would have stayed with me forever! ​Mrs K has fought the good fight, she has finished the race, and she has kept the faith. Her legacy lives on in the business she built, in NNEW, in the lives she transformed, and the lessons she permanently etched onto my heart. ​Rest on, my dear leader, my mentor, and my beloved big sister. You will never be forgotten. Olukemi Abe

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MRS OLUFUNKE KUYORO (PRESIDENT, NNEW) Dear Mrs Olufunke Kuyoro, I’m still in shock at the news of your passing. You were like a big sister, advisor, and friend to our family to which you were very helpful in numerous ways. Thinking of you brings only very pleasant memories. I just can’t believe you are gone ma, and that I won’t see you again on this side of eternity. I only got a bit closer to you in the last decade, but you certainly left an indelible print on my life and family’s. You were such a down-to-earth person, and your love for God, and passion for excellence in your event planning was palpable. You were a very remarkable and energetic woman…. Your strength never ceased to amaze me. You were always on the move and willing to help. Your sincerity and determination to achieve never ceased to amaze me. It was no surprise then, when you were appointed as the NNEW National president upon the completion of your tenure as the Lagos State Chairperson of NNEW. You were a shining light ma. You may not have known this, but your remarkable leadership in NNEW inspired and motivated me to take on my current leadership roles in NNEW to also contribute my quota. I pray for God’s comfort for your husband, children, extended family, the CGCC and NNEW members. You came, you saw and conquered. My family and I miss you ma. I am consoled by the fact that you lived for Christ and have completed your assignment here on earth. Rest in the bosom of your maker. May your beautiful soul rest in peace. Good night Ma. KEHINDE UMEIZUDIKE

I’m still in great shock! Even as I write this. Still feels like a dream. But guess,that’s how life is. Very unpredictable!!! Thanks for the warm welcome and all you showed and taught the few times I was opportune to be in meetings and gatherings where you were. So loving and jovial! I’ll deeply miss you ma. Je nke Oma Nne

Hmn! This is life. You came, saw, conquered, impacted and bowed out. We are consoled in the fact that your legacy lives on……. There is so much to say but very few words…….Rest on Mrs K… You are sorely missed.

Words often fail to capture the depth of sorrow that accompanies the loss of my egbon, friend, sister, and president. As the President of NNEW, Director of Strap and Safe Child Foundation and CEO of TWC Event, you have touched countless lives through your leadership, service, compassion, and unwavering commitment to empowering others Our path crossed almost 30 years ago, and it's has grown to become a sister-sister one. You joined my NGO and ran with the vision like it was yours.It was not a coincidence that we served together under NNEW as president and vice president. We had our moment. Mrs. k was a no-nonsense person, known for excellence, hard worker, unapologetically loved God & family. I know that you are at peace with your maker. It's even more reassuring that the legacy you have left behind is strong.Though the pain of loss is immeasurable, may God's grace sustain us through the days ahead and grant us the courage to navigate this season of mourning. With deepest condolences and prayers to the Kuyoro and Adejumo family, NNEW, SSCF,CGCC, and TWC family. Bolanle Edwards
