Elder Abiola Eniola’s Remains to Be Buried Friday

The final burial rites for Elder Cornelius Abiola Eniola, who passed away on October 26, 2025, at the age of 74, begins today with a  Service of Songs at 4:00 p.m. This will be followed by a Thanksgiving Service and interment on Friday, November 28. Both services will take place at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Imole Agbowo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Born on September 15, 1951, in Ile-Ife to Chief Daniel and Mrs. Dorcas Eniola, Elder Eniola hailed from Igbogi, Ilesa, in Osun State. He began his career at the University of Ibadan in 1972 as a Telephone Operator in the Department of Works and Maintenance.

Renowned for his diligence, honesty, and humility, he rose through the ranks to become the Head of the Telephone Unit, retiring in 2008 after 36 years of distinguished service.

His Christian journey, which began in his childhood at the Anglican Church in Ilesa, was a cornerstone of his life. This dedication culminated in his ordination as an Elder at CAC Oke Imole, Agbowo, in November 2024.

Beyond his professional and church life, he was deeply committed to his community, serving as Vice Chairman (2012-2014) and later Treasurer (2014-2016) of Kajola Estate in Moniya, Ibadan.

Elder Eniola was a family man at heart. He married his wife, Mrs. Deborah Aina Eniola, in 1983, and their union was blessed with two children, Oluwatosin and Opemipo.

He will be remembered as a man of unwavering faith, integrity, and love, a friendly and compassionate soul whose values left an enduring impact on his family, church, and community.
