Chief Tunde Abudu, foremost lawyer and Industrialist, has said that he owned his being educated to Reverend Oludotun Ransome Kuti as a result of his insistence that Muslims should also be admitted into the Abeokuta Abeokuta Grammar School.
Chief Olatunde Abudu who disclosed this while speaking at a Book Launch on Saturday, 22nd of October, 2022, titled, “Teaching And Nation Building In Nigeria -Ransome Kuti As A Case Study”, said if it were not for that singular decision his education might have been terminated at the primary school level
In a tribute to Reverend Ransome-Kuti, read by his son, Ade, Chief Abudu recalled that when the Anglican Church persisted that non Christians would not be admitted Reverend Ransome-Kuti who he described as a revolutionary teacher insisted that Christianity did not discriminate against any section of the society.
The Mayegun Egbaland stated that it was Ransome-Kuti’s commitment to humanitarian and non discriminatory attitude that enabled many of his generation to have secondary and ultimately university education.
He therefore commended 88 year old Chief Tunde Adeyanju for making the memory of a great Egba compatriot live and enduring.
