Carol Akinfeleye, a retired school principal and director of education in Lagos state, died recently after a brief illness.
Her death occured while the couple were looking forward to their 40th wedding anniversary in September this year. She died as result of what appeared to be "ordinary cough" according to her husband.
Late Akinfeleye started her teaching career with the Lagos State Service on the 24 November, 1983, as a classroom teacher at C.M.S Grammar School, Bariga.
She served meritoriously and rose through the ranks to become a principal and director of education before she bowed out of service in 2018.
She was the Yeye Gbekonuyi of Idanre Kingdom.
Speaking on the demise of his wife, Prof. Akinfeleye, the University of Lagos scholar, said:
"I’m still in shock because cough that looked so harmless and should have been treated with simple medication landed her in a hospital and never came back home alive.
"We were looking forward with excitement to our 40th wedding anniversary in September as we discussed it daily. Just too bad and painful! But the Lord is on His Throne!!!.”
