Genuine motherhood is a gift. This became obvious during the radiant celebration of love and family, as dignitaries from various walks of life recently converged to witness the traditional wedding of Zeinat, the cherished daughter of Bola Atta, CEO of UBA Foundation, to Yinka Ajose-Adeogun.
The engagement of the couple last December set the stage for this unforgettable occasion, which drew luminaries from politics, business, and media. Among the most esteemed guests were Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, the esteemed Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the renowned business magnate Tony Elumelu.
Atta’s journey to this remarkable moment reflects her extraordinary career path and steadfast commitment to excellence. Recently hailed as the Outstanding Corporate Communications Personality of the decade, Atta has left an indelible imprint on the media, marketing, and corporate communications landscape across Africa.
A graduate of the University of Sussex and Duquesne University, Atta’s career traverses diverse industries, from banking to publishing and entertainment. Her tenure as Editor-in-Chief of True Love West Africa Magazine and CEO of Flair Productions showcased her leadership acumen and creative vision.
Atta’s pivotal role as Group Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications at UBA Plc has seen her orchestrate innovative strategies across eighteen countries, while her leadership of UBA Foundation has touched countless lives through grants and initiatives. Throughout her illustrious career, Atta amassed – and continues to amass – numerous accolades and awards, including recognition among the 100 most influential women in Nigeria and the esteemed Best Marketing Professional in West Africa accolade.
Therefore, even as Atta revels in the joy of her daughter’s wedding, she embodies the essence of motherhood and leadership, gracefully balancing family commitments with professional achievements. Her legacy of excellence and dedication is the sign at the door of lifetime relevance for aspiring professionals and mothers alike.
No wonder Zeinat was radiant at the wedding. After all, she knows that with her mother’s trailblazing, the future, even in marriage, is open to a lifetime of success, genuine passion, and purpose.
