Folorunso Alakija (July 15, 1951) is a Nigerian businesswoman who is involved in various industries such as fashion, oil, and printing. She is known for being one of the richest Black women in the world.
She was born in Ikorodu, Lagos State. She was from a sizable family due to her father, Chief L.A. Ogbara, having been married eight times and fathering 52 children. Alakija was his second surviving child and her mother, a fabric merchant, was his first wife. At the age of seven, she and her younger sister Doyin were sent to study abroad at Dinorben School for Girls in Northern Wales. The pair of sisters attended the school for four years before they returned to Nigeria at the request of their parents, who did not want the girls’ African values, traditions, and culture to be lost. She continued her studies at Muslim High School in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. She ventured abroad again, this time to Pitman’s Central College in London to pursue an education in secretarial studies.
She began working in Lagos as an executive secretary and worked at FinBank for several years. She studied fashion design in the UK for one year. She established Supreme Stitches, her fashion house, in a three-bedroom apartment in Surulere, Lagos. She was one of the best designers in the country and became recognized for endorsing Nigerian culture through her works and clothing.
She expanded her business interests and applied for the allocation of an oil prospecting license in May 1993. Her company, Famfa Limited, was granted the license to explore for oil on a 617,000-acre block, known as OPL 216. She entered into a joint venture agreement with Star Deep Water Petroleum, a subsidiary of Texaco, and appointed the company as a technical advisor for the exploration of the license. Some 40 percent of her 100 percent stake was transferred to Star Deep.
She married Modupe Alakija (1976), a lawyer and the couple raised four boys together. She is known for her philanthropic work through the Rose of Sharon Foundation. She was appointed as the vice chairman of the Nigerian National Heritage Council and Endowment for the Arts. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
