In a world dominated mostly by men, it’s hard to find a woman as successful as she is, and she has been acknowledged.

For its December 2014 issue of Hello! Nigeria Magazine, business woman and billionaire, Folorunso Alakija wows on the cover.

Striking a pose in a pink dress, Alakija opens up in an exclusive interview with the publication where she narrates her quest for a stake in the oil business, and how she was turned down several times while trying to acquire an oil license.

“It was a matter of taking on a challenge and I had to ensure that it worked because there was no going back,” she tells the publication.
