Nigeria has lost a distinguished figure with the passing of Major-General Aderonke Kale (Rtd) at the age of 84.

The official statement from AANI read, "AANI and indeed the nation will continue to remember the remarkable legacy of the iconic Major General Aderonke Kale (rtd) mni.

Major-General Aderonke Kale, a medical doctor trained at the University of Ibadan, specialized in psychiatry at the University of London. Her decision to pursue psychiatry was influenced by Thomas Adeoye Lambo, Africa’s inaugural professor of psychiatry. Born on July 31, 1939, she briefly worked in Britain before returning to Nigeria in 1971.

In her military career, she ascended through the ranks to become a colonel and deputy commander of the Nigerian Army Medical Corps by 1990. Initially serving as the chief psychiatrist to the army, she later assumed the role of Director of the Nigerian Medical Corps, holding the position of Chief Medical Officer until 1996.


Major-General Kale earned the promotion to her final military rank in 1994 and gracefully retired from the army in 1997. Married to Oladele Kale, a professor in preventive and social medicine, she was a mother to five sons, including Yemi Kale, the former Statistician-General of Nigeria.
