Lasrab Heritage series interview with Erelu Yeye Odua

The Lagos State Records and Archives Bureau (LASRAB) team recently conducted an interview with Erelu (Dr.) Abiola Dosumu at the Erelu Yeye Odua Renaissance Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, as part of our "Heritage Series" initiative for the purpose of historical documentation. During the interview, Erelu (Dr.) Dosumu shared the remarkable story of Erelu Kuti I, a pioneering figure in Lagos' history who played a key role in advancing the empowerment of women. Her legacy remains a source of inspiration, with subsequent Erelus upholding the courageous path she forged. Erelu (Dr.) Abiola Dosumu IV, a revered and distinguished Lagosian, exemplifies strength, influence, and elegance. The conversation was deeply engaging and informative. The visit proved to be an enriching experience, as Erelu (Dr.) Dosumu provided invaluable insights into the rich heritage of Lagos and reflected on her remarkable 50 years on the throne as Erelu. #heritageseries
