The Legacy Story

If the lives and times of Allison and Oluremi Ayida could be captured in six words, it would be this, ‘The God Chasers and Change Catalysts.”

They lived their lives with a shared vision and ended with a legacy that we know today as the Allison and Oluremi Ayida Foundation.

During her lifetime, our mother, Oluremi Victoria Ayida was driven by a burning desire to see men and women transformed and empowered through God’s word by intentionally creating God-encounters in cities and communities. This desire was very congruent with our father’s passion to drive change through government policies and development programs.

We believe that our father, Allison Akene Ayida had a prophetic call to Government. He fulfilled this call as a leading civil servant during the early years after independence and during the Nigerian civil war. An important highlight of his years of service was the role he played in shaping Nigeria’s post-civil war economy.

As their children, we had the rare privilege of watching them walk these paths in close proximity. Our lives were shaped by the journeys these paths took them on, creating a legacy that will transcend many generations to come.

Our mother, Oluremi Ayida went on to be with the Lord on 21 June, 2011 and our father passed on to glory on 12 October, 2018. Though they are physically absent, they live on in our hearts. They have continued to live vicariously through our commitment to continuing their legacy and promoting the values they lived for – Love, Service and Excellence. One question that has continued to serve as a guide for us over the years is, ‘What would they have done?’

Our parents firmly believed in the transformative power of generosity. The moment we chose to walk the path of generosity, guided by wisdom and discernment, we started to understand that we were called to be faithful stewards of what they left in us, not just what they left for us.

Over the last few years, we have navigated through the process of staying true to this call by establishing the Allison & Oluremi Ayida Foundation. During the process of establishing the foundation, this was clear – We are visionaries who interpret the ‘evergreen’ vision of our parents in ways that are relevant in today’s world and culture.
