Before Forbes Magazine declared her the richest black woman in Africa, many knew Mrs Folorunsho Alakija as a creative designer with the Supreme Stitches label, which she later named Rose of Sharon Creations. She’s also the Executive Director of Famfa Oil and Visioner of Rose of Sharon Foundation, an NGO that caters for widows and orphans in Nigeria.

She added another feather to her cap penultimate Saturday as she was conferred with an honorary doctoral degree in Business Administration at the University of Nigeria Nsukka. The fashion icon who was dressed in a purple tail skirt and fitted blouse was cornered by Sunday Sun after the ceremony . In a voice laden with emotion, she talked about the award bestowed on her, why she remains humble, her NGO and her oil business.
