Think of a lucky man, and Ambassador Demola Seriki’s name will come into the picture.
He has been flying higher on the wings of grace, having been a minister, chair of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Board and now Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain.
Recently, he and his beautiful wife, Princess Sholape, celebrated the 10th birthday of his look-alike son, Rasak Ademola-Seriki (Jr), amid pomp and circumstance. The 10-year-old is an avid fan of Arsenal Football Club. Little wonder, his colourful birthday was themed to reflect the wonders of the English club. Close family members and friends attended the classy gig held in Lagos.
The occasion also spotlighted Sholape, either publicity-shy or merely prefers to live her life away from the Klieg lights. Unknown to many, the charming princess is a graduate of Business Law from the London Guildhall University and a Master’s degree in Information Technology from the Middlesex University.
A respected international programme and IT project management consultant, her mastery of the Nigerian government bureaucratic and political processes and understanding key stakeholders’ needs helped her facilitate major project approvals.
