Family unveils one year memorial event to honour late Modupe Dada in Lagos

The family of the Mrs. Modupe Temitope Dada, beloved wife of Mr Mike Dada, President and Executive Producer of All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), has unveiled plan for one year memorial of her passing.

Mrs Dada died on Saturday, October 19, 2024. She was aged 48.

In an invitation statement share with close friends, the family stated on Wednesday that a one-year memorial service in her honour will be held on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at Grace Assembly Church on Yard 158, Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun-Ikeja, Lagos, from 12noon to 1pm.

According to the family, the event “will be a day of reflection, worship, and gratitude, bringing together family, friends, and well-wishers to celebrate the life and legacy of a woman fondly remembered as kindness personified.”

The memorial will also capture the bittersweet emotions of loved ones still coming to terms with the loss of a remarkable woman whose warmth, kindness, grace, and quiet strength touched many lives.

In the invitation shared with friends and associates, Mr Dada, who is also the Managing Director of PRM Africa Marketing and Communications, expressed deep appreciation for the outpouring of love and support his family has received in the past year.

“It’s been a year since my beloved wife, Modupe, went to be with the Lord. You are warmly invited as we worship, remember, and give thanks for her inspiring life,” he wrote.

Until her passing, Mrs Dada, a committed banking professional, served with distinction at various banks in Nigeria, where she had earned a well-deserved promotion and respect for super performance.

The memorial service on Sunday, scheduled to be superintended by Reverend Femi Paul, “will not only honour Modupe’s memory but also celebrate her enduring legacy of faith, compassion, friendship and genuine love — virtues that continue to inspire those she left behind.”
