Prescient observers who are
watching how Grace Alumni came alive on social media and news platforms would
rightly agree that hard work in the right direction delivers enduring fruits.
Hard work doesn’t kill; it yields a life that history acknowledges ultimately.
That is the enviable story of Adesope Edun, the digital and Media
experts/director who spearheads the publicity of affairs of Grace Schools Alumni
as he marks his birthday today.
To Adesope, the ideal celebration
would not be to organize an elaborate feast, to bring friends and well-wishers
together for a mother of all feasts. Doing so is not in his character. If there
would be a get-together at all, it would be with the deprived, the vulnerable,
children of the poor or the special class of the handicapped as he has done for
many years.
Therefore, It’s only appropriate
to seize the occasion of his middle age birthday to examine his relentless work
schedule that has benefited the school and his other engagements and made it
possible to refer to it as the investors’ destination, tourism hub and
construction site.
Grace School, is one of Lagos
biggest academic institutions. Academic analysts also say without disputation
that Sope’s commitment to acknowledging and rewarding efficiency surpassed the
figures for a couple of some PR experts put together. In recent times, Grace
Schools has begun to wear a new look and recognition across the social space
and academic corridors.
Most of these have taken place only under the
watch of Adesope, even if one must admit that the process is a continuum. But
every age would have to carve out its own distinct identity. History has a keen
interest in taking note of this identity aspect in the unfolding of events. No
corporate expert can appropriate the honour due its successor or predecessor,
the continuum theory notwithstanding! You have to carve out your own niche, as
it were.
Adesope has pitched his tent with
this history-making camp. It comes with a price: courage. According to Andrew
Jackson, the seventh President of the United States of America, “One man with
courage makes a majority.’’ This US leader is credited with numerous courageous
policies that toppled the established norms of his time. He was not afraid to
make a decision as long as it was in the interest of the people.
For instance, Adesope displayed rare
courage and compassion by initiating the need to award the icons in the social,
academic, entrepreneurship and political space, who had passed through the
academic nuture of Grace Schools.
The point has long been established that
Adesope is a man who does not sleep, in a literal sense, until he has touched lives.
He packs a thousand and one activities into the 24-hour schedule he has at his
disposal in a day.
The bottom line and the
aggregation of opinion of those that know him was that of a young achiever who
is restless, committed, determined and passionate to change the face of the
school for good.
Adesope has received notable
local and international recognition for outstanding delivery and the service to
the people. For a man who has demonstrated several times that experience can
indeed be an asset in governance, Adesope is always calm and dutiful when there
is a major challenge in an organization that is increasing and expanding by
the day.
Happy birthday, Sir!
