Virtue is not inherited. Neither is it bestowed on a man by chance. It is something that requires practice before it is mastered. If you ever wonder why Hajia Foluke Kafayat Abdul-Rasaq remains one of the most influential women in Nigeria, it is simply because she has mastered the act of being virtuous. Little wonder dignitaries turned up in their numbers to honour her on the occasion of her 60th birthday penultimate Saturday.
The life of the prominent banker, education administrator and business woman has been characterised by lofty accomplishments, but attaining the age of 60 carries much more significance for her in the sense that at three scores, she has achieved so much by dint of hard-work, dedication, determination and belief in herself. Abdul-Rasaq strongly believes that it takes the grace of God to be a success.
She holds a Master of Science degree in Banking and Finance from the University of Ibadan and is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School, Boston, USA. She is currently a non-executive director of the United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA) where she is the Chairman of the Bank’s Board Credit Committee as well as a member of the Board’s Audit, Statutory Audit and Nominations and Governance Committees.
