The Managing Director of Eleganza Industrial City, Dr Folashade Okoya, will today receive the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Lagos Alumni Association.
The event, taking place at Eko Hotels in Victoria Island, Lagos, will have Vice-President Kashim Shettima as the guest of honour, with Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu also expected to attend.
It will be chaired by the Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland, Dr Sonny Kuku, while the association’s president worldwide, Ifeoluwa Oyedele, will serve as host.
Dr Okoya, a graduate of the University of Lagos, first studied Banking and Finance before earning a degree in Sociology. She has since built a successful career as an entrepreneur and industrialist, leading one of Nigeria’s major manufacturing groups.
Born in Lagos in 1977, she attended St. Bernadette Nursery and Primary School, Awori Anglican Comprehensive High School, and Lagos State Polytechnic before proceeding to the University of Lagos.
The award, according to organisers, recognises her achievements in business and her contributions as an ambassador of the university.
