In Loving Memory of Valentina Alecksandrovna Saliu-Lawal
Community Involvement
Valya was deeply committed to her community. She volunteered and was once the President of
the Association of Soviet Women in Nigeria (ASWIN) in partnership with RODINA Society (Soviet
Society for Cultural Relations with Citizens abroad), Soviet Union, always putting others before
herself. Her selflessness inspired us all. Valya was a member of Benin club for several years before
moving to Lagos for Greener pastures.
Closing Thoughts
As we bid farewell to Valentina Alecksandrovna Saliu-Lawal (Valya), let us remember her
infectious laughter, her warm hugs, and the way she made us feel cherished. She leaves behind a
legacy of love, resilience, and compassion.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Thank you very much to Naomi Oghomwen Adesuwa Saliu-Lawal (my wife) for your endless love,
support, care, and cooking to my mother, Valya.
