Folusho Alakija one of the richest women in Africa, a Nigerian oil magnate who is also the vice-chairman at Famfa oil Limited, is celebrating her birthday today, Wednesday, July 15.
In a LinkedIn post, Folorunso said that she has many reasons to be grateful for the day. The Nigerian oil magnate also used the opportunity to appreciate everyone who has supported her over the years.
She appreciated God for the “priceless gift called life”. The oil mogul asked that God will make avenues of celebration available for all her supporters.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Folusho pledged N1 billion for Nigeria’s fight against Corona virus as cases of the deadly disease continue to increase.
She made the donation through her oil company and commended the efforts made by the federal and state governments, private sectors, and individuals towards the fight against coronavirus in Nigeria.
A day after donating N1 billion for the fight against coronavirus in Nigeria, the billionaire businesswoman gave N25,000 to each of her foundation’s registered widows and orphans in the six geopolitical zones in the country.
The money was donated to cushion the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the beneficiaries. It was gathered that the foundation, Rose of Sharon Foundation, made the disclosure on its official Twitter page on Tuesday, March 31
