On Tuesday, October 11, businesswoman and youngest wife of billionaire industrialist, Folashade Noimat Okoya, will stand tall amongst the movers and shakers of the society as she adds another feather to her cap. Okoya is a recipient of the Member of the Order of the Niger award, which will be conferred on her during 2022 national honours awards organised by the federal government in Abuja.
Although providence plays some significant role in the affairs of humans, yet, as the Roman philosopher Lucius Seneca rightly observed, “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”. Okoya’s meteoric rise within the Eleganza conglomerate might seem providential; but it derives, primarily, from hard work. Her strength lies in her tenacity, diligence, simplicity, and a mind that pays sufficient attention to detail.
Okoya is a highly educated senior level manufacturing executive with specialisation in Project Management, quality assurance, marketing, sales distribution, material/logistic human resources administration and management encompassing technology-based applications.
She plunged herself into the many areas of business holding various positions as Managing Director of Eleganza Fashion Products Limited, Eleganza Cruise and Travels Limited, as well as a member Board of the Directors of Eleganza Group and RAO Investment Property Company Limited. Okoya’s steps to becoming a top grade business executive has been a classic example of a brain meeting opportunity.
Although Eleganza, a family business, has been around for five decades, the new Eleganza Industrial City Limited is all encompassing churning out various products under one roof under the watchful of Oluwanishola damsel, Mrs. Folashade Okoya.
