According to the programme, the rites of passage for Dr. Badejo, a consummate preacher and excellent manager of men and resources, begin on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, with an evening of tributes scheduled for the church’s international headquarters on Akinwunmi Street, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos, from 5.p.m.

Dr. Badejo, a veteran surgeon, served in various capacities on his way to the apex of leadership ladder in Foursquare Gospel Church of Nigeria, crowning his stewardship with his election in 1999 as the General Overseer.
Badejo, a world acclaimed preacher, who was also the Founder of the Wilson Badejo Foundation, WBF, served meritoriously as Foursquare General Overseer for 10 years, retiring gloriously in 2009.
Highly connected, and widely travelled, Rev. Badejo used the Foundation to raise many less privileged Nigerians, brilliant but indigent students, widows and orphans, among others, from the ashes of poverty and deprivation, and helped them achieve resounding success.
“He was a man of many parts,” Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria said in a brief eulogy while announcing his demise on August 8, 2021.
Rev. Dr. Badejo, “was able to unlock socio-cultural gateways, and in the process successfully endeared several friends and loved ones from all walks of life across the divide.”
