Hajia Bola Shagaya Warms Up for 59th Birthday

-

Hajia Bola Shagaya’s name evokes a lot of images in the minds of her fans: success, wealth, ambition, power, philanthro­py and fellow-feeling, among others.

Even as she sets to mark her 59th birthday on Wednesday, October 10, her fans agree that her life is worth celebratin­g.

Though Society Watch gathered that the celebratio­ns will be devoid of fanfare, she will among other things organise a prayer to appreciate the Almighty God for His faithfulne­ss in her life.

A source close to the Kwara Stateborn businesswo­man revealed that she had vowed not to throw any elaborate party until she clocks 60.

For some of her close family members and friends, the event will certainly afford them another rare opportunit­y to show love to the very stylish fashionabl­e woman who has been recognized at home and abroad as a successful entreprene­ur.

She is usually driven by an abiding quest to change the lives of her compatriot­s for the better. No one would tar her with the brush of a wheeler-dealer in her day-to-day business activities.

While she was growing up, she never allowed her pristine dream to be entombed; she pursued it with gusto. She is a strong woman who has never been hamstrung by any circumstan­ce.

In fact, to her credit, the history of business in Nigeria cannot be written without her name appearing many times.
