From mental health nursing in the United Kingdom to education, philanthropy, elderly care, youth development, agriculture and enterprise in Nigeria, Chief Mrs Oluremi Oyeyemi Adeojo is building a legacy shaped by service, vision, faith and an uncommon determination to make a difference.
Some women follow a path. Others create their own.
Chief Mrs Oluremi Oyeyemi Adeojo belongs to the latter. A mental health nurse by training, entrepreneur by enterprise, philanthropist by commitment and spiritual leader by calling, she has built a life that reaches far beyond the boundaries of a single profession.
As Erelu I, Idi-Oro Elewa Ologuneru, President of Osi Positive Women, President of Flawless Sisters and Brothers, Ibadan Branch, and Chief Executive Officer of Soworkiq Charity Foundation and House of Mercy Residential Care Home, Adeojo occupies leadership positions across traditional, social and charitable institutions. Her interests also extend into education, agriculture, food processing and property, reflecting a portfolio that bridges community service and enterprise.
Her work spans the United Kingdom and Nigeria, touching some of the most important aspects of human life: education, health, dignity, opportunity, food security, youth development and faith.
Her story is not simply about the businesses she leads or the institutions she has established. It is about a woman who has continually expanded the scope of what she does, moving from caring for individuals to developing initiatives intended to serve communities. Across her different ventures, one recurring theme emerges: the desire to respond to needs, create opportunities and build something that can outlast the moment that inspired it.
In a world where professional success is often measured by how far someone rises within a single field, Oluremi presents a different picture. Her journey brings together clinical training, charitable intervention, education, residential care, agriculture, property and religious leadership. Each occupies its own place in her portfolio, yet together they offer a portrait of a woman whose ambitions extend beyond conventional definitions of career and achievement.
A calling that began with care
Chief Mrs Oluremi’s professional journey began in mental health nursing, a field that requires patience, emotional intelligence and an understanding of the complexities of human behaviour. She has been a registered mental health nurse in the United Kingdom since August 2008, following her Diploma in Mental Health Nursing from South Bank University. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychosocial Studies from the University of East London.
These qualifications form an important part of her story. Mental health nursing brings professionals into contact with people experiencing vulnerability, distress and significant challenges in their lives. It demands an appreciation of the person behind the condition and the circumstances that shape their wellbeing.
For Oluremi, her professional background sits alongside a wider range of interests in human welfare. Her subsequent involvement in education, charitable work, elderly care and youth development has extended her activities into settings beyond the clinical environment.
Her career has therefore developed along more than one track. While nursing remains central to her professional identity, she has also pursued initiatives that respond to needs within communities, particularly among children, older people and other vulnerable groups.
It is this expansion of purpose that provides an important starting point for understanding her work.
**Seeing a need and choosing to *act*
One of the most significant stories associated with Adeojo’s educational intervention began in 2010, during a visit to Iyana Offa in the Lagelu area of Oyo State, Nigeria, for a church programme.
During the visit, she reportedly encountered children who had attended an overnight vigil. When she asked about their schooling, she was told that there was no school in the community.
For Adeojo, the encounter became more than a troubling observation. It prompted a practical question: what could be done to change the situation?
After returning to the United Kingdom, she reportedly pawned her gold jewellery to raise funds to acquire land and build a school for the community.
The significance of the episode lies not simply in the personal sacrifice involved, but in the decision to translate concern into action. A problem identified during a visit became the starting point for an educational intervention intended to give children access to schooling.
It is a defining example of the way Oluremi’s charitable interests have taken shape: an encounter with a need, followed by a decision to pursue a response.
The story also offers a glimpse into the determination behind her work. Identifying a problem is one thing; taking responsibility for doing something about it is another. In this instance, she chose to pursue a practical solution rather than allow the experience to end when the visit was over.
Education as an investment in the future
Chief Mrs interest in education continues through her involvement in Lanrem International Schools, which opened on October 16, 2024.
The school represents another chapter in her educational activities. Alongside her earlier intervention in Iyana Offa, it reflects her continuing engagement with an area that has a direct bearing on children’s development and future opportunities.
Education is also one of the concerns addressed by Soworkiq Charity Foundation, through which disadvantaged children receive support that includes scholarships, mentoring and spiritual guidance.
These initiatives approach education from complementary directions. Establishing a school creates an educational institution, while scholarships and mentoring can help children access opportunities and receive guidance as they develop.
This aspect of her portfolio places young people at the centre of a wider interest in community development. It also illustrates how her work combines institution-building with charitable support.
Soworkiq Charity Foundation: Service with a wider reach
Registered with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission on June 9, 2016, under registration number CAC/IT/No. 88040, Soworkiq Charity Foundation provides an organisational platform for Adeojo’s philanthropic activities.
Its motto, “God Loves Helping Hands,” expresses its stated emphasis on service and assistance to people facing social and economic difficulties.
The foundation’s areas of interest include disadvantaged children, people with disabilities, orphans, widows and older people. Its activities encompass educational assistance, scholarships, mentoring and spiritual support.
The breadth of its focus reflects the different circumstances in which people may need help. A child seeking access to education, a widow facing economic difficulties, an older person requiring care and a person living with a disability may each need a different form of support.
Through the foundation, these concerns sit within a broader charitable framework rather than being treated as isolated causes.
The foundation is also connected to other aspects of Adeojo’s work, including residential care and youth development. These initiatives give practical expression to different elements of its social-support focus.
House of Mercy: Preserving dignity through care
Opened in 2020 under Soworkiq Charity Foundation, House of Mercy Residential Care Home extends Adeojo’s involvement in care to older people and individuals who require support with mental health conditions and age-related illnesses, including dementia.
Its establishment is particularly relevant to her professional background in mental health nursing. While nursing provides clinical knowledge and experience, residential care addresses the continuing assistance some people require in their everyday lives.
Older people living with dementia or other age-related conditions may need sustained attention to their health, comfort, safety and personal wellbeing. A residential care setting is designed to address needs that can extend beyond occasional medical intervention.
House of Mercy therefore represents a distinct part of Oluremi’s portfolio: the provision of residential support for people who may be vulnerable because of age, illness or mental health challenges.
It also brings her professional background and charitable interests into closer conversation, linking her experience in mental health with an initiative focused on ongoing care.
Building confidence and opportunity through football
Oluremi’s commitment to young people also extends into sport through the Soworkiq Charity Foundation Football Academy, registered in Ibadan, Oyo State, and Osi-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
Football offers a different setting for youth engagement. Through organised training and participation, young people can develop teamwork, discipline and a sense of shared responsibility. An academy can also provide a structured environment in which sporting interests and abilities can be nurtured.
The football initiative adds another dimension to the foundation’s interest in children and young people. Whereas scholarships and mentoring focus on educational and personal guidance, football creates opportunities for development through sport.
Its presence in Ibadan and Osi-Ekiti also gives the initiative a footprint across two locations.
Together with her educational and charitable activities, the academy reflects the variety of approaches associated with Adeojo’s work with young people. The common thread is an interest in creating opportunities through which they can learn, develop and participate in their communities.
Agriculture and food processing: Enterprise with a productive purpose
Beyond social intervention, Adeojo has interests in agriculture through Adeojos Farm Nigeria Limited and a garri-processing factory.
These ventures introduce a different dimension to her activities, moving from charitable services into agricultural production and food processing. The processing of cassava into garri places the enterprise within a sector closely connected to everyday food consumption in Nigeria.
Her stated ambition for the agricultural venture is captured in the phrase “Operation Feed the Nation.” It conveys the importance she places on food production as a business objective.
Agriculture and food processing connect primary production with the wider food economy, creating potential opportunities across cultivation, processing, distribution and trade. The extent of those opportunities depends on the scale and operation of individual enterprises, but the sector itself remains central to questions of food availability and economic activity.
The farm and garri factory represent a business interest with a productive focus. They sit alongside, but remain distinct from, her charitable work, demonstrating that her activities encompass both social intervention and commercial enterprise.
Property, investment and a cross-border business portfolio
Oluremi’s commercial interests also include Lanrem Investment Nigeria Limited, which operates in real estate, property development, land transactions, and import and export.
In the United Kingdom, she is identified as chief executive officer and director of Larems Limited. She is also associated with the directorship of Adeojos Farm Nigeria Limited and leadership of Lanrem Investment Nigeria Limited.
These interests extend her activities into property and commercial business, creating a portfolio that reaches beyond healthcare, education and philanthropy.
Her work across Nigeria and the United Kingdom also gives her professional and business activities an international dimension. The enterprises operate in different sectors, each with its own commercial focus, while forming part of the wider picture of her professional life.
It is important to distinguish these business interests from the work of Soworkiq Charity Foundation. The foundation’s stated purpose centres on charitable and social support, while her companies operate in commercial areas such as agriculture, food processing and property.
Taken together, these ventures show the range of responsibilities and interests associated with Adeojo, from community-focused initiatives to business leadership.
Faith, spiritual leadership and community engagement
Faith occupies another significant place in Oluremi’s public life. She serves as General Overseer of Soworkiq Charity Fellowship, through which she undertakes religious leadership and spiritual activities.
The fellowship and Soworkiq Charity Foundation have distinct identities. While the foundation provides an organisational structure for its stated charitable activities, the fellowship is concerned with religious leadership and spiritual engagement.
Chief Mrs Oluremi Adeojo also reportedly counsels and prays with children and young people involved in gangs or criminal activity in London. Her social-media prayer sessions, held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, provide another avenue for people seeking spiritual guidance.
These activities bring a pastoral dimension to her wider engagement with people facing difficult circumstances. They also reflect the place of faith in her public life, alongside her professional, charitable and commercial responsibilities.
Her religious leadership is therefore another distinct strand of a career that cannot be reduced to nursing, business or philanthropy alone.
Traditional recognition and the Braye Award
Oluremi’s activities have also attracted public recognition. She was recently installed as Erelu Idi-Oro Elewa Ologuneru under Ido Local Government Area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
The traditional title adds a further dimension to her public profile, recognising her within a traditional institution and connecting her name with a wider community setting.
In October 2026, she received the Braye Award from Dominion Radio Station 106.1 FM in collaboration with ROA Communication. Presented on the programme Ajodun Akikani, the award recognised her impact, dedication, hard work and resilience.
Such recognition provides another chapter in the story of her public life, which spans professional nursing, educational initiatives, charitable intervention, residential care, youth development, agriculture and enterprise.
A legacy still taking shape
Chief Mrs Oluremi Oyeyemi Adeojo’s story is one of multiple callings and an expanding range of responsibilities.
Her professional foundation in mental health nursing, her educational initiatives, her work through Soworkiq Charity Foundation, the establishment of House of Mercy Residential Care Home, the football academy and her agricultural and commercial ventures represent different expressions of her activities.
No single initiative tells the whole story. The school speaks to educational opportunity; House of Mercy to continuing care; the football academy to youth development; the foundation to charitable support; and her business ventures to agriculture, food processing and property.
Her religious leadership adds another dimension, connecting her public activities with her commitment to faith and spiritual guidance.
What distinguishes this portfolio is its breadth. Adeojo has pursued interests across sectors that operate in very different ways, from professional healthcare and residential care to education, sport, farming, property and religious leadership.
Her story is therefore not defined by one institution or one achievement, but by the range of fields in which she has chosen to become involved.
It is the story of a woman who has built a professional life beyond the boundaries of her original training, taken on responsibilities across different sectors and continued to develop initiatives concerned with care, opportunity and enterprise.
For Chief Mrs Oluremi Oyeyemi Adeojo, the work spans many fields. The task of building, serving and creating opportunity remains the thread that connects them.
