Mrs. Modupe Layole Adesote stands as a  luminary in Nigeria’s healthcare landscape, serving as the visionary Chief Executive Officer of Layole and Sons Hospital in Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos. Drawing upon over three decades of distinguished medical experience in the United Kingdom, she returned to her homeland with an unyielding passion to give back, founding a sanctuary of healing named after her beloved pet name—Layole. A registered nurse of extraordinary calibre, Mrs. Adesote led a department at the prestigious Princess Grace Hospital in the UK for 13 years, where her leadership and clinical excellence became the cornerstone of patient-centered care that she now brings to Nigerian soil.

Mrs. Adesote’s academic and professional foundation is as profound as her calling, holding qualifications as a State Registered Nurse (SRN), Registered Midwife Nurse (RMN), and ENB998, complemented by a degree in Psychology from the United Kingdom. This rich blend of clinical mastery and psychological insight equips her to deliver holistic care that nurtures both body and spirit, setting a gold standard for healthcare delivery in Nigeria.

Under her tender yet resolute stewardship, Layole and Sons Hospital has blossomed into a trusted haven offering primary, maternal, child, and surgical care, equipped with state-of-the-art ECG services, a fully functional laboratory, a modern surgical theatre, and a dedicated labour room. The hospital’s warm, inviting atmosphere reflects Mrs. Adesote’s deep commitment to patient-centered excellence, where every individual is enveloped in compassion and receives the highest standards of medical attention. Renowned for its extraordinary success in infertility treatment, Layole has restored hope to countless families, most poignantly exemplified by the miraculous conception of a woman after 19 years of marriage—a testament to the hospital’s transformative impact.

Despite profound personal adversity, including the heartbreaking loss of her husband shortly after founding the institution, Mrs. Adesote has demonstrated unshakable resilience, drawing strength from her faith and the love of her children in the UK. Undeterred, she continues to expand services and envisions groundbreaking collaborations to advance breast cancer treatment. Beyond medicine, her entrepreneurial spirit shines as the founder of Ray Dazzle Cosmetics Limited, a hair products factory dedicated to promoting hair health and empowering lives in multifaceted ways. In 2024, she was a recipient of the prestigious Woman of Merit Gold Award by People & Power.

It was in recognition of her Sterling Contribution to Nation Building in the Sphere of Healthcare Delivery that Mrs. Modupe Layole Adesote was deemed worthy to be conferred with the Nigerian Achievement Award.
