One-year memorial for late wife of AFRIMA boss holds |

A one-year memorial will be held for Modupe Temitope Dada, the wife of Mike Dada, the President and Executive Producer of All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) on October 19, 2025 in Lagos.

The memorial service will be held at Grace Assembly Church, Yard 158, Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos from 12noon to 1pm.

A statement on Thursday said 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 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 an invitation shared with friends and associates, Dada, who also serves as Managing Director of PRM Africa Marketing and Communications, expressed deep appreciation for the outpouring of love and support his family has received over the past year.

He wrote: “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.”

For many, the memory of that sombre October 19, 2024, remains vivid: the day news broke that Mrs. Dada had passed on at a private hospital in Lagos during a brief illness.

She was aged 48.

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, a testament to her diligence, excellence, and unwavering commitment to her profession.

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