Mrs. Adenike Lilian Akinyelure, an accomplished educator, is the visionary and Education Development Director of Queensland Academy, an international co-education nursery, primary, and secondary school, that caters to the discovery, development, and delivery through service-oriented values inculcated today for a result-oriented future of excellence.
Adenike Lilian Akinyelure hails from Ilesha, Osun State of western Nigeria. She is a graduate of Guidance and Counselling from the University of Ado-Ekiti and has taken advantage of sundry training and skills development engagements at home and abroad.
As a definite chief aim and life purpose, Adenike Lilian Akinyelure invests passion to see that through a vehicle of resourceful education, children are empowered to make a difference in their space.
These personal and professional goals have consistently been transmuted to her other business interests, faith-based activities, and philanthropy. She serves on the board of different companies with interests in real estate, construction, and social services. Adenike Lilian has served as chair of the harvest committee of the Church of Pentecost, for over three years, chair of the board of Archbishop Adetiloye Schools, Festac, and currently chairs the board of Lagos Anglican Schools Management Board.
She is the bishop’s appointee on education at the Diocese of Lagos West, Anglican Communion, and has served as a member of the Synod Committee for nine years. These appointments are informed by her antecedents, the result of timeless values and a culture of discipline, resourcefulness, integrity, honesty, and the tireless passion to serve without seeking personal rewards.
Adenike Lilian is a philanthropist of manifold proportions. Her sponsorship of children who are not able to afford quality education is a passion she has served for over four decades and has sustained to date. Philanthropy is more a calling than otherwise.
A mother of six accomplished children-3 males and 3 females, raised under her watchful eyes and supervision, despite other roles jostling for her attention, she finds fulfilment doing the same for other children today as she has in the past over three decades. She has used her experience to stand in the gap for challenged children and families.
Adenike is widely travelled and loves exercising, supports great causes that hinge on propriety, is highly aesthetic, and is fastidious, essentially paying attention to details with a relentless drive for continuous improvement.
