April 25, (THEWILL) – She is the wife of Olorogun O’tega Emerhor the founder of Standard Alliance Group made up of SA Insurance Plc, SA Life Assurance Limited, SA Capital and Asset Management Limited, SA Properties Limited and Lagoon Home Savings and Loans Limited. Olorogun O’tega was at some point the Chairman of First Atlantic Bank and later, the Vice-Chairman of First Inland Bank later renamed Finbank Plc. Just as he made great strides in the banking and insurance industry, so did he also bestride the social scene with his wife, Rita, always by his side. They attended high-profile parties together and always graced the covers of magazines and newspapers. Not even Olorogun Emerhor’s alleged indiscretion could separate Rita from the love she had for her husband. To reciprocate her love, in 2014, Olorogun Emerhor showered her with some of the best things that money can buy and on her 50th birthday in 2014, threw her a lavish party and presented a luxury car to her as birthday gift. That was her last known public outing. While her husband got busy running his numerous businesses, getting entangled with the politics of Delta State and making unsuccessful attempts to become governor, nothing has been heard of Rita.
As far as social watchers are concerned, Rita is done with the glitz and glamour of the social scene. An graduate of Economics from the University of Manchester, UK, Rita also has a Master’s Degree in Leisure and Hospitality Management from the University of Sheffield, UK. She is the Group Executive Director, Standard Alliance Group and the CEO, Heroes Furniture Ltd, which is into interior decoration, home and office furnishing. She also runs Heroes Property Limited, the real estate arm of Heroes Group. Together, she and her husband run Fair Life Africa Foundation, through which they impact society.
