Ibidunni first hit fame in 1999 when she won the Miss Lux beauty pageant competition as an 18-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos.
She married Pastor Ighodalo in 2007. Ibidunni was also a successful event planner whose outfit Elizabeth R, had big brands in her clientele.
She was the founder of Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation, an NGO that raises awareness on issues about infertility. The foundation provides grants for couples that require fertility treatments such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intrauterine insemination.
In a 2018 interview; Ibudunni Ighodalo revealed that it was her personal struggle with infertility that led her to start the foundation. She had 11 IVFs due to pressure from in-laws and friends. This all happened before she adopted her daughter Keke, then her son Zenan.
Late Ibidunni’s husband Ituah Ighodalo, the senior pastor of the Trinity House Church, recently revealed he has no plans to remarry after the demise of his wife.
In an interview in May, the clergyman said marrying another woman would be “a difficult thing” because he had already given “everything” to his late wife. Ighodalo also added that he is simply focused on his ministry, future, and grooming his children.
