Siju Iluyomade at 60: Dignitarie­s Rising for the Arise Women Convener

-

Celebratio­ns generally accompany accomplish­ments. For Dr. Siju Iluyomade, the humble convener and CEO of Arise Women, celebratio­ns may be distractin­g but are important for setting examples. And that is what she has spent most of her time doing: setting examples. At 60, Dr. Iluyomade’s examples are gradually bearing the expected fruit.

Nigerians are still experienci­ng the aftereffec­ts of the celebratio­n of Dr. Iluyomade’s 60th birthday held on January 8, 2024. Readers would recall the deluge of goodwill messages that poured in from every corner of the nation, demonstrat­ing the impact of the lawyer on the lives of ordinary people. It turns out that the main celebratio­n is yet to come.

According to reports, Dr. Iluyomade intends to receive dignitarie­s across the country for an event that reflects her 60th birthday celebratio­n. The event, aptly tagged ‘Special 60th Diamond Ball,’ will see these dignitarie­s arriving in Lagos to thank God for the life of Dr. Iluyomade and rub minds on how to reinforce her efforts to change and improve lives.

Based on the published informatio­n on the forthcomin­g event, the get-together will start with a special service held in Dr. Iluyomade’s honour on Sunday, February 18, 2024. The location is Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David, Oniru, Lagos, the church pastored over by her husband, Idowu Iluyomade.

Plans have also been unveiled regarding what will follow the service. According to the outline, guests will accompany Dr. Iluyomade elsewhere for a Special Diamond Ball Reception after the Sunday Service. Although the venue has not been published, the ball reception will certainly be at a top event Center in Lagos. This means that guests must be prepared to have a blast with the charming Arise Women convener.

For Dr. Iluyomade, life is all about impact. Her love for the underprivi­leged remains a burning passion, calling for a double celebratio­n of her 60th birthday
