Billionaire industrialist and Chairman, of Eleganza Group of Companies, Rasaq Okoya, marked the 25th anniversary with his wife, Folashade, who also clocked 47 on Thursday.
Folashade, a mother of four, serves as a director in various companies under the Eleganza Group, demonstrating her acumen in business management.
The socialite has also been involved in philanthropic activities, such as sponsoring the Folashade Okoya Kids Cup, which held its maiden edition in December 2014 in partnership with the Lagos State Grassroots Soccer Association.
In addition to her professional and philanthropic achievements, she holds different titles, including being the Bewaji of Lagos, Otun Aare Iyalaje of Ajiranland, Yeye Oge of Epe Land, Ajisewa of Oke Ona Egba, and matron of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria.
The event was held at the Okoya’s expensive Oluwanishola mansion on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos. The evening commenced with prayers by clerics and guests, who had come to celebrate with the couple.
As the celebration transitioned into a high-society affair, popular comedian and master of ceremonies, Tee-A, took charge, guiding the festivities. Guests were then treated to the electrifying sounds of Sharp Band, keeping the energy high throughout the night.
The anniversary drew well-wishes from prominent figures, including Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who extended congratulations to Folashade on her 47th birthday. In 2023, Chief Rasaq Okoya saluted his youngest wife, Shade, for making a difference in his life.
