A lot of people might not know, but two of Nigeria's most accomplished female professionals have a no-love-lost relationship that dates back to many years. Indeed, many, many years is a lifetime to be enemies, but these women- Ayora Bolajoko Kuforiji-Olubi and Otunba Oluwatoyin Olakunrin- might have inwardly sworn to remain so for the remainder of their delightful and sensational existences.
Incidentally, they both enjoy many firsts. Olakunrin is Africa's first female chartered accountant. Blessed with a razor-sharp intellect, she is a past president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and former president of the Society of Women Accountants in Nigeria (SWAN). Olakunrin is presently the Chairman of Education Trust Fund. Elected the first female ICAN President in1989, Kuforiji-Olubi, on the other hand, is a former Minister of Commerce and Industry, and was the first Nigerian woman to become the Managing Director of an international company in Nigeria, VYB (Nigeria) Ltd. in 1977. She was also the first female Chairman of a public quoted company on the stock exchange-BEWAC Plc., the holding company for VYB, and its subsidiaries.
