WHYTAIWO AFOLABI CELEBRATED 60TH BIRTHDAY IN LONDON
The Chairman of Sifax Group, Taiwo Afolabi rolled out the drums on Friday, April 29 to celebrate his 60th birthday. The man of means and substance spared no cost in marking his landmark age by jetting to London for the event. Family and guests were feted at the Ballroom of the Sheraton Grand Park Lane, Piccadily, London where the event took place. The serial businessman who has his hands in maritime, logistics and hospitality business celebrated the day with his twin brother, Kehinde Afolabi who is also a businessman. The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, was in attendance and the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Sarafadeen Tunji Ishola were in attendance at the grand event. Many were not surprised that the multimillionaire chose London as the choice destination for his landmark birthday celebration. This is a tradition that he has been observing for some years now. Even if it's a low key celebration, the business mogul will take time off his busy schedule and fly to London to celebrate. Having worked round the clock just to ensure his chain of businesses functions smoothly, Afolabi normally goes on a short vacation in April.
The only time he couldn't observe his London birthday celebration was during the pandemic when a ban was placed on traveling abroad. As a philanthropist, Afolabi identifies grassroots soccer tourney as one of his veritable platforms to give back to the society, hence an under 17 boys and girls football tournament that takes place every April 29 held in his honour.
