Siju Iluyomade Reinvigorates Passion for Humanity

It is noteworthy that in the last 17 years, Dr Siju Iluyomade has turned compassion into infrastructure and vision into impact. Through her Arise Women Foundation, she has rewritten the story of countless women who once lived on the fragile edges of possibility, taken the everyday struggles of the vulnerable and transformed them into testimonies of dignity, strength, and rebirth.

Her lifestyle is tailored to put a smile on people’s faces. Without a doubt, she stands as one of the most compelling champions of social justice, skill acquisition, and economic empowerment of women.

The delectable lawyer of over 30 years clocked 62 years on Thursday, January 8, 2026, and as usual, showcased her milk of kindness as she gave out foodstuffs to the underprivileged in the society.

The foodbank, which was distributed in parts of Lagos, was, however, devoid of any major publicity or frenzy to go along with the solemn mood of the nation.

Little wonder that in less than two months, she was honoured for her humanitarian passion by various organisations. The World Women Organisation recently bestowed on her its prestigious Icon Award, a testimony to her global footprint.

The legendary Ikoyi Club 1938 also decorated her with the Amazon Leadership Award, affirming her as a force of grace and influence.

Her classmates, the distinguished  Class of 1985 Nigerian Law School, Lagos, led by their Chairman, Emeka Ngige, SAN,  celebrated her on December 16, 2025, alongside other distinguished fellows.
