As controversy rages over who
succeeds Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, the late mother of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
among market men and women as President-General of the Association of
Nigerian Market Women, her granddaughter, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu Ojo has
been installed as the new Iyaloja General.
At a well attended event presided
over by Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu, who was represented by his White
Cap Chiefs inside late Abibatu Mogaji’s house, Folashade was formally
installed as the new President-General of the Association of Nigerian
Market Women and Men.
In her response to the title bestowed
on her, the young lady said she is capable to manage the affairs of
market women and men in the state and beyond having studied management
and have previous experience as the boss of Lagos Marketing Board for
some years.
“Managing the elderly women older
than me will not be problem because I have been working close with Mama
Mogaji for several years and I have picked one or two leadership
qualities from her. I strongly believe God will give me the necessary
wisdom and the grace to discharge my duty accordingly,” she said.
She said her vision is to create the enabling environment for market men and women to operate without being molested.
