January 28, (THEWILL) – Penultimate week, Siju Iluyomade, the wife of Pastor Idowu Iluyomade of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, City of David parish, clocked 60. To celebrate, there was a workout session hosted by the celebrant at Onikan Stadium, Lagos. Very unlike her, especially for one who likes to celebrate the smallest of occasions, she disappointed a lot of her fans, members of her parish and friends when she refused to roll out the drums to celebrate her landmark age. Instead, she chose to take off to North America for an intimate celebration with her husband. She is still enjoying her birthday vacation.
Known for her fashion, style, beauty and charisma, Mrs Illuyomade’s style lends credence to the saying that age is nothing but a number because even at 60, she never fails to dazzle every time she makes a public appearance. A legal practitioner and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association, and International Bar Association, she is a partner in the law firm, Iluyomade and Iluyomade and Co. She has practised law in several courts in Nigeria, including the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Having seen firsthand that empowering women and girls can transform the health and prosperity of families, communities and nations, Mrs Iluyomade through her two main initiatives; Arise Women and The Handmaidens Women In Leadership Series (HWIS), has become a role model for kindness while simultaneously putting the human capital to work for economic growth.
