No doubt, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, the first female Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc has built a solid reputation as a solid amazon in the Nigerian finance sector.
As a go-getter, she has seen and conquered the banking arena with honours among banks’ top CEOs and veterans of Nigeria’s money business.
With close to 34 years of rewarding banking experience, Nneka is surely a force to reckon with. A combination of intelligence and beauty, Nneka, has always been a source of inspiration and a role model to many women.
This virtue further came alive on Sunday 28 July when Nneka clocked 60 years.
There was a tremendous excitement in the air on that day as friends and well-wishers flooded various social media platforms with congratulatory messages and more messages of good wishes and prayers on the august occasion to celebrate the banking amazon.
Later in the evening, the Balmoral Event Center inside Federal Place Hotel Victoria Island, Lagos roared alive as corporate luminaries, business leaders and titans stormed the venue for a special 60th birthday shindig in her honour.
The party started with a cocktail hour at a specially decorated spot where most of the distinguished guests lounged, relaxed and networked amidst delicious tipples, fancy canapés, chips and dips and some light entertainment.
Then came the main birthday bash with ace comedian Bovi as the master of the ceremony, announcing the grand arrival of the celebrant into the hall accompanied by her husband, Dr. Ken Onyeali-Ikpe and their two children.
With a series of tributes from family members, friends and associates poured on the gorgeous celebrant, the highlight of the evening was an amazing descent of a multi-layered cake from the roof of the Marquee attached to a luxurious chandelier to welcome Nneka to the sixth floor.
