 The family of Major General Henry Edmund Olufemi Adifope has organized a memorial event and a presentation of his biography to commemorate his life and times. The event was held in Lagos, Ngoziqa, O'aii Chessi reports. It's over a decade since General Henry Edmund Olufemi Adifope passed. Major General Adifope served in the Nigerian Army and as a Minister of Foreign Affairs, a member of the International Olympic Committee from 1985 to 2006 and an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee since 2007. This event was to celebrate all he was and stood for during his lifetime. Family, friends, colleagues, business associates and statement were all in attendance. Olufemi Adibola Adifope Okoji, first daughter of the late General, shared a brief biography of her father. He loved nature and was conscripted by the Lagos Horticultural Society as their president with position he held for many years until he pleaded to be released. As president, he was able to secure a large hectares of land for the society on Lagos Iba, a Badagri Expressway through Govno Rajirasaki. He, together with his life, loved family, both nuclear and extended. Ipane was set up to have a fireside conversation about Major General Adifope best selfless service and dedication. The legacy that he left behind in the labour movement was that before he became a Minister, the first generation of Inonis had been trying to have one labour centre. If I had the first Nigerial Labour Congress in 1950, the four major unions, you know, ULC, WFU, they've been struggling to form the second one, but General Adifope Okoji put his feet on the ground and brought these four centres together, which produce the Nigerial Labour Congress that we have today. In his acceptance speech in 1967 as the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, he vowed to do one thing, to develop sport and ensure that every young man and woman that needed to participate in sports and rise from the grass root level to any level they can get, he was going to do that. The unveiling of the book in his honour was a highlight of the event. It's such a privilege and honour now, I'd be grateful if we would all do it together. Okay? So we unveil the book in honour of this legacy of honour, integrity and selflessness. I want you to support the Adifope Foundation by buying several copies and donating to libraries. The Henry and Dorothy Adifope Foundation is continuing to support and promote sports and youth development to keep his memories alive. Ngozika, Ohio Chessie. Class TV News.
