ThE Lagos State Records and Archives Bureau in partnership with Isale Eko Descendants’ Union and the family of Oba Musendiku Adeniji-Adele II have showcased a historical exhibition of the late monarch.

The Director-General, LASRAB, Mrs Bilikis Adebiyi-Abiola, said this in a statement on Tuesday.

Adebiyi-Abiola, who was represented by Dr Kolawole Oseni, a director in the agency, was quoted to have said this during the exhibition series at Isale Eko House, Iga Idugaran.

She said, “We, at LASRAB, are committed to keeping proper documentation and we thank the family of our late King Musendiku Adeniji-Adele for being very cautious in keeping all these records and that is why we are able to preserve some of the archival materials being celebrated today.

“We all must begin to keep and preserve our records as individuals, families, communities and as a nation, this is the only way we can be talking about the future.”

A former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Adeniji Kazeem, said the pictorial exhibitions showed that the life of Adeniji-Adele was impactful.

“In pursuit of our objectives, we need to be bold, brave and resolute, so that our dreams and aspirations for a rebirth of great Isale Eko and Lagos will be a reality. These exhibitions also show that the life of the king was impactful, so we the younger generation must also do more for our world so that history can have a record of us when we are no more,” he said.
