Eventually these lead to a fatal heart attack on December 18, 2021. He is survived by his two children Nickia and Jeffery,Jeffery's wife Suzanne and two grandchildren Evan and Grace. He will be missed greatly by all of his family and friends.
Sir Ezekiel Ukpoma Uwabor
My dad was an incredible man, too outstanding for words. He provided for his family, and made sure his children and everyone around him had the guidance they needed. He was a renowned Educationist, Philanthropist and community leader. My Dad was a principal in several schools in the then Bendel state including Igbanke Grammar school from where he retired in 1990.
Sarah Caton
Our wonderful friend and colleague Sarah Caton died peacefully at home surrounded by her family on 15 December. As the fabulous Chief Officer of ADCS from its inception, Sarah had a tireless commitment to her work and was passionate about the growth and influence of the Association. She led with humour and integrity, and was a fierce supporter of her staff team. Sarah was the heart and soul of ADCS; she drew people together around friendship, fun, immense volumes of work and a shared purpose. The outpouring of love from across the country when we found out she was ill demonstrated her place in the hearts of so many. We have lost a dear friend, an advocate and a leader. She was an inspiration and we will miss her hugely, but her legacy will live on in our lives and in our work. ADCS is the Association it is because of her. In lieu of flowers Sarah asked for any donations to go Macmillan Cancer Support - https://tributefunds.macmillan.org.uk/In-Memory/Sarah-Caton
Darlington Njere
Darlington was a true gentleman and great professional engineer, expert in his field, always happy to help and always smiling. He will be remembered by 1000s of young engineers for the positive impact he has made on their lives through his lectures, practicals and mentorship. Though the finest of academics and colleagues he was above everything a family man. Here are his own words recently shared on his children's school site which give us a deeper insight into this fine man whose loss to our university community is felt deeply. "I am very excited to be part of this School's Catholic family. Although I and my family are relatively new in the community, I am deeply rooted in Roman Catholicism. I am happily living the faith with my wife and three daughters. My daughters (Deborah, Grace and Elizabeth) are, respectively, in Year 1, 4 and 5 of our school. Presently, I teach in Coventry University and I am a Mechanical Engineer. Before now, my teaching experience in Higher Education also included University of Brighton and abroad. I am very passionate in supporting students in their journey of learning and character-moulding. Thus, I look forward to working with the wonderful and well experienced committee members to drive the development of a Christian academy that will be our pride as a community. May God bless our church and community! " Darlington Njere written September 2021
