In the words of the renowned Irish playwright Bernard Shaw, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the remarkable journey of Reverend Fola Achudume, affectionately known as RFA, who dedicated her life to building and uplifting others.

As a certified Life Coach, RFA specialized in turning despair into hope, guiding countless individuals to become beacons of light and joy.

Her congregants remember her as an energetic preacher, brimming with divine wisdom and an unquenchable love for God’s work.
Beyond her ministry, RFA was a prolific author and a passionate advocate for the empowerment of young girls. Through her Non-Governmental Organizations, Save Her, and Royal Ladies International, she championed the education and protection of the girl-child, working tirelessly to shield them from the vices that plague society.
