The Okoya family marked a significant weekend of celebration as businesswoman and society figure, Dr. Folashade Okoya, turns 49 while her daughter, Olamide, prepares to begin her marital journey.
The milestone birthday of the Eleganza Industrial City Limited Managing Director comes at a time of added joy for the family, with Olamide Okoya’s engagement ceremony scheduled to hold on the same day, April 25, 2026.
Family sources describe the atmosphere as intimate and reflective, with close friends and relatives gathering to celebrate both occasions. The dual event has drawn admiration within social circles, symbolising continuity, family values, and new beginnings.
Olamide, the first of four children born to industrialist Alhaji Razaq Okoya and his wife, is said to be known for her calm and reserved nature. The engagement ceremony is expected to be a private affair, attended by a select group of loved ones.
Observers note that the timing of the engagement, coinciding with her mother’s birthday, adds emotional significance to the moment. It highlights what many describe as a strong family bond and a legacy of enduring relationships.
The marriage of Razaq and Shade Okoya, which has spanned nearly three decades, continues to attract public interest, often cited as an example of stability and mutual respect.
As the family celebrates both a personal milestone and the promise of a new chapter, the weekend stands out as a moment of gratitude, reflection, and quiet festivity within one of Nigeria’s prominent households.
