September 17, (THEWILL) – It was celebration galore when veteran broadcaster Funke Moore joined the 60s club. She feted friends, family and colleagues to a shindig at the Ikeja Golf Club where there was more than enough food and drinks to go around. Looking nothing like her age, she first appeared in a traditional regalia and later changed to a floor sweeping number which further took some years off her. Music supplied was a mixture of old school and new generation melodies. Some of the guests who honoured her with their presence include Lekan Ogunbanwo, former General Manager, Lagos Television/Radio and Eko FM; Olori Adesola Kosoko the current General Manager, Lagos Television; Nollywood actress, Ronnie Dikko, media publisher, Dele Momodu; Master of Ceremony, Madam Kofoworola Abiola etc. Funke began her broadcasting journey when she joined the then Radio Lagos in 1983 at the age of 20 after her graduation from Nigeria Institute of Journalism. She later went to Lagos State University, Ojo, for her first degree and University of Lagos, Akoka for her Masters degree in Literature in English. She retired from public service after reaching the mandatory 35 years in service. A mother of two and grandmother of three, Funke is currently the managing director of Effemm123 Global Concept Limited.
