Business Mogul Sir Kensington Adebutu Loses First Wife, Oladunni

Popular Nigerian business magnate Sir Kensington Adebutu is bereaved. 'Baba Ijebu' as Adebutu is fondly called has lost his first wife, Chief (Mrs.) Caroline Oladunni Adebutu.

She was said to have died on Friday, at the age of 83. She was the Otun lya Laje and the lya Apesin of Lagos in her lifetime.

Late Chief Caroline, it would be recalled, had a mega celebration when she clocked 80 in 2019.

She was married to her business baron husband for 48 years. She was regarded as the matriarch of the Adebutu family. She is the mother of Reps Member and Ogun PDP governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu. Born to the Jaiyesimi family of Odogbolu, Caroline Oladunni Adebutu had her Elementary Education at St Dominic Catholic School, Yaba and St Paul School, Odogbolu, Ogun State.

She attended Methodist Girls High School, Yaba from 1952-57 and started work at the Board of Customs and Excise in Lagos briefly before proceeding on a vocational training at the Federal Training Centre, Broad Street, Lagos. After completing this programme, she returned to the customs again and worked for a little while until January I963 when she travelled to the UK to study at the Pitmas College for a one year programme in Secretarial Administration.

On her return to the Nigerian shores, she was posted to the Ministry of Health from where she was seconded to the Board of Customs in 1967.

She eventually left the service in 1971 on the request of her husband who wanted her to be a full time housewife. Of that decision, she said, "I didn't like the idea that time, but I had no option. My husband had been wonderful since then, tending to family needs while I was bringing up the children. Our marriage, from my own side, was blessed with children. The eldest is Honourable Oladipupo Adebutu, while the youngest is Olusegun, an Economist."
