For us at the Nigerian Library Association - Kwara State, in July 2025, we were shocked at the demise of one of our dedicated members, who gave it her best shot and fought for the survival of not only the profession but also the Association, Mrs. Grace Olabisi Babafemi of University of Ilorin, Nigeria

Her departure was a rude shock to us. Hence, it was difficult to accept the reality of her exit. We are deeply consoled by the testimonies and tribute of friends, family members, colleagues, and neighbours. Christian Wake and Commendation services in her honour were well attended.

The Nigerian Library Association, Kwara State was led by the state Chairman, Dr. (Mrs) Olabisi Ajani of Kwara State University, Malete - KWASU in the team are Joel Afolayan, Mahammuod Sulyman, Mrs. Olabimpe Olani Dr. (Mrs) J. O. Oyeniyi of Ncam Centre and other Librarians and Library Managers.
