Remember our darling mummy today and always. Our thoughts over the last two years have been loving. You sowed into each one of us and this has allowed us to continue from where daddy and you left. Rest on mummy, peacefully. Amen

I met the Great and humble Professor Sam Aluko through Senator (Dr.) Jim Nwobodo and his wife Pat Nwobodo. Prof. Aluko was interim Chairman of Savannah Bank of Nigeria Plc where I served as Chief Finance Officer (CFO).
Through the above relationship I met Mama Joyce Aluko. But I must say that she is an exceptional person. After Prof. Aluko passed in Feb 2012, she continued religiously to send Christmas and New year cards to me as the late great Professor did. I found that quite touching and it is a testimony to the close relationship she enjoyed with the great Prof. Sam Aluko.
May her very carting soul continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen

I am a paternal cousin of Mama Joyce, now residing in the United States of America. I had the privilege of meeting Mama, when I came to Nigerian Law School in Lagos from University of Maiduguri and was badly looking for a place to live. She single handedly pursuad the family to let me live at the family hotel, Hotel Astoria in Lagos. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. She will always remain a roll model to those of us who knew her.

Mama,You are a Gem to many,Your Legacy will live on ,We love you but God loves you more.We are consoled by this and that you are resting in his Bossom.Rest In Peace.

I had the blessing and pleasure of knowing Mrs Joyce Amonoghan ALUKO as a fellow Director of Academic Planning in the Nigerian university system for very many years and-much later-as the chairperson of the Nigerian National Commission for UNESCO when I was Ambassador to the international organization. I vividly recall her spontaneous delight in my election to various positions.
She was also very much enthused about my post- UNESCO assignments by ADEA and the Commonwealth Secretariat. 
 In various scenarios and capacities, I found her insightful, industrious, illustrious, consistently focused, patriotic, sisterly, frank, and patriotic. 
Her ideals were obviously predicated upon her faith-which she would often describe as: “looking unto JESUS , the author and finisher of my faith “

Indeed, we have lost a rare gem !!!
May her soul rest in perfect peace.
May her entire family -and we all-be divinely comforted Amen.

May Mama's soul rest in peace. She has gone where the elders go. May the Aluko family be comforted and strengthened to bear the huge loss. Be encouraged by the beautiful memories of her time here on this side of eternity. Be inspired by her distinguished record. She left a strong legacy of excellence and dedication to humanity. Take comfort in her having fought the good fight and won the race. God bless you all.

An Appreciation
Mama Joyce Anomoghan Aluko was a blessing to mankind, certainly to Nigeria and to me. She was Chairperson of the Nigerian National Commission for UNESCO when General Abacha invited me to serve on the Commission in 1994. She was there at my election as Chairman of the Education Sector of her Commission, and she sat in to endorse the choice.
As a strong woman she was not going to allow herself to be pushed around and we then had difficult times as she was uncomfortable whenever we were directed to tow Government line without any critical consideration. Mama was not such person as she enjoyed being independent. She was also highly principled. Her husband used to write me when I served in Paris, to remind me that his wife was my ana, an in-law, as she married an Ekiti man, like myself from Ipoti-Ekiti, and that she therefore was entitled to being given special treatment by me and my Delegation. Her contribution was always informed and profitable. She was a team player and she defended all proposals from Nigeria with passion and courage and she got approvals for her submission.
We have all been left poorer by her withdrawal of services as she advanced in age and now by her death. I was blessed by her life and her example of diligence and commitment to highest ideals of governance and service at all her postings. We thank the Lord for the fruits of her womb in different callings of life, including her daughter who works with dedication with the African Mission unit of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. I pray that the Almighty God will continue to give her sweet rest until the Resurrection morning in Jesus name.

What a testimony! Mama really lived. She's not dead but changed position and all her legacies,lives she has touched keep her living forever! Rest on beautiful Mama. You came, you saw and you conquered. Sweet is the sleep of the righteous. My sincere condolence to the whole family.

May Mama's soul rest in peace. Mama lived a dignified, joyful life, filled with love and respect for all and sundry.

We thank God for Mama's life. May she rest in peace. She lives on...

A brilliant, assiduous, thoughtful, focused, dedicated, nurturing wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt, Auntie Joyce was and still is loved by many. She was one of the earliest Nigerian women to rise to a top university administrative position. At University of Ife in the 60s and 70s, she did not compromise her principles on admission policies or any other policies. She was well grounded in administrative and academic procedures that people knew not to mess with her. She was a Ms. Ofuya, related to Professor Chris Ofuya, my childhood friend and classmate( 63-67 Xt’s School)- the Ofuya family well known for brilliance and charisma .
The last time l heard your voice was when l called Bolaji years ago and you referred to me as an “omo olopa”! This reminded me of our family visits to you at the Nigerian College of Arts, Ibadan.
Till we part no more, sleep well, beautiful Auntie, sleep well! Bolaji and all are already carrying on your beautiful legacies.
You are forever missed. Sleep on!!!

I join in offering special thanks and gratitude to our almighty God for the highly productive life of Mrs Joyce Aluko. Her loss is greatly felt by her families, Church family members, and friends. I pray for God's blessings of comfort, strength, love, and peace for all who were touched, and mourn the passing away of Mrs. Aluko. May the soul of Mrs. Aluko rest in the eternal abode of our God.

Mama Joyce Aluko served her creator and humanity well. She was a choirester at the Chapel of Announciation Archbishop Vining College Akure till death.Mama was always telling Baba Prof Sam Aluko, that I saw your boy from Ode that sings very well today and he sends greetings. A sincere lover of God,continue to rest at the right hand of your Creator.

Saintly, unblemished, dignified, the sweet memories represent a never-ending reliving of life.
We should celebrate a good life.
My preference is amala and gbegiri--keep the pounded yam for the Ekiti people.
Keep well.
