Adedoyin Ajifolokun Memorial Foundation (AAMF), a Non-Profit making and Non-Political education focused charity foundation was established in June 2014 by Dr. Oyewole Ajifolokun in honor of his late father – Pa. Adedoyin Ajifolokun who passed to the great beyond when Dr. Ajifolokun was still in secondary school.
Pa. Adedoyin Ajifolokun, though uneducated himself, instilled discipline in and emphasized the value of education as a vehicle to self development and societal elevation to his children. He struggled so hard to give the best education to his children but unfortunately died before any of his children could make it to college. His death made the pursuit of education very hard for his children and that made some of them to drop out of school and pursued another career in craftsmanship. However, by dint of hardwork, focus, resilience, and determination to succeed, Dr. Ajifolokun surmounted several obstacles and became a veterinary doctor and later a professor of biology and a businessman in the United States of America.
