Fifi Ejindu Hits 55

-

How long can you be cute? For Fifi Ejindu, the answer will probably go… ‘ Eternally!’ The splendor of her womanhood and the earthly rind of her humaneness and poise resonate that ageless prettiness and élan characteri­stic of the loveliest of fabled Greek goddesses. In a more romantic era, she would have become a poet’s delight, in this era; she flaunts an immense backbone of versatilit­y and breadth of character that lures you to stare at her more closely than you are accustomed to in watching certain great women. But even at that, she is hardly given to fickle idolatry, unlike most of the women she shares the right to acclaim and celebrity status. Fifi is simply a delight to watch. Now, as she clocks 55 in May, it promises to be celebratio­n galore. You couldn’t have forgotten so soon her 50th birthday; Dubai was listed to her grace for her 50th birthday at the Al Falak Ballroom of the prestigiou­s hotel, Burj Al Arab. Indeed, ever since she left the shores of the country to enthrall Dubai by her classy ceremony, she has become the toast of not a few celebrity gatherings in the UAE. And not a few people look back in awe at the glamour and wonderful touch of class with which she has charmed the Arabian city. The royal birthday that has former President Olusegun Obasanjo in attendance is yet to be matched in terms of publicity, pageantry and fun. However, Fifi has made a great impact within the building and constructi­on sector in particular. Fifi is the Chief Executive Officer of Building Support Systems, BSS. She is also the Principal Partner, Starcrest Associates, an architectu­ral firm, which is also based in Abuja.
