Nigerian billionaire Folorunso Alakija has lost her eye sight completely, according to medical sources involved in her care.
Sources revealed to SaharaReporters that the 73-year-old founder and Executive Vice Chairman of Famfa Oil began experiencing health issues after a near air mishap.
It was reported that she was travelling with her husband, Modupe Alakija, Chairman of Famfa Oil, when the incident caused a spike in her blood pressure.
The distressing event is said to have affected her vision. After the incident, Alakija reportedly purchased a new jet to avoid flying with her husband. However, her vision kept worsening until she eventually became completely blind.
Recall that Billionaire businesswoman Folorunsho Alakija was at the book launch of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB). Former Nigerian military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) launched his autobiography, A Journey in Service, on February 20, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
