In the eyes of many, billionaire businesswoman, Hajia Bola Muinat Shagaya, comes across as a phenomenon of sorts.
She also typifies a soul who enjoys abundant luck and grace of God, particularly when you consider her intimidating profile.

Interestingly, it is no exaggeration to say that her life epitomises the tenacity of purpose.
She started out as a banker with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). But she wanted so much more out of life. And she pursued that ambition with abiding trust in God.

The boardroom guru has showcased that not only men are good managers of money, but that women can also excel in boardroom politics.

Unarguably, the Kwara State-born woman has risen to her current position based on her finesse and sheer artistry in the business climate.

But what many do not know about this woman of substance is that beyond her feats in the business, she is also gifted with great oratorical power.

She is said to have showcased this God-given talent recently at a function in Kwara State.
The virtuous woman took the centre stage and she was the cynosure of all eyes at the forum tagged: ‘Cracking The Glass Ceiling: the Story of Kwara Women,’ which was held on December 7, 2021 at Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.
Shagaya was celebrated by the participants for her eloquence and for “cracking the glass ceiling.”

She was honoured and awarded at the event alongside the likes of a former acting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Economy, Dr. Sarah Alade; former Chief Judge of Kwara State, Hon. Justice Raliat Elelu-Habeeb and former Presidential Candidate, Sarah Jubril.
