There are many “Firsts” in her record, the latest being the first female Varsity Chancellor in Nigeria. Oil magnate and founder of the Rose of Sharon Foundation Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija was earlier this month of March 2016 unveiled as the Chancellor of Osun State University (now renamed Bola Ige University).
The fact that she is one of the richest black women in the world could not stop her from the humility of bending low to fulfill her marital duties and obligations to her husband, in fact, Alakija, Executive Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil, in a recent interview she said she still dotes on her hubby like a teenager who just found love.
“My husband is my best friend, biggest adviser and supporter. We’ve known each other for 40 years and have been married for 37 years now and with four boys. Even though we work in the same office, I always ensure that we kiss twice in a day, morning and night.
I still wash his undies until six years ago that he insisted I should stop. I also prepare his special vegetable dish, do his manicure and pedicure regularly.
I go to the airport to pick him whenever he’s returning from foreign trips.
It gives me joy whenever his friends praise my vegetable dish based on what my husband tells them.”
