 The family of Major General Henry Edmond Olufemi Adefobe organized a memberial event and a presentation of his biography to commemorate his life and times in Lagos. Gózeika Ohae-Jesse reports. It's over a decade since General Henry Edmond Olufemi Adefobe passed. Major General Adefobe served in the Nigerian Army and as a Minister of Foreign Affairs, a member of the International Olympic Committee from 1985 to 2006, and a 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 Adefobe Adefobe 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, which 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, 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 Adefobe's 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 unionists have been trying to have one labour center. In fact, they had the first Nigeria Labour Congress in 1950. The four major unions, you know, ULC, WFU, they have been struggling to form the second one, but General Adefobe put his feet on the ground and brought these four centers together with produce the Nigeria 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 grassroots level to any level they can get, he was going to do that. The unveiling of the book in his honour was the highlight of the event. It's such a privilege and honour and I'd be grateful if we would all do it together. So we unveiled the book in honour of this legacy of honour, integrity and selflessness. I want you to support the Adefobe Foundation by buying several copies and donating to libraries. The Henry and Dorothy Adefobe Foundation is continuing to support and promote sports and youth development to keep his memories alive. Gozika, Ohio Chelsea, Plus TV News.
