In celebration of Women’s Month, Nigerian DJ and music producer Florence “Cuppy” Otedola took to social media to honor influential women in business, placing her mother, Nana Otedola, at the top of her list.
Sharing her admiration in a tweet, Cuppy wrote: “It’s Women’s Month, so I hail all my female bosses who don’t wait their turn and take the lead! Top of my list has to be my mum, Nana Otedola. This woman started her business in Lagos 25 years ago—wayyy before my dad—and now employs over 500. Talk about a powerhouse!”
Her statement sparked conversations about Nana Otedola’s remarkable entrepreneurial journey. As the founder of Garment Care, one of Nigeria’s leading laundry and dry-cleaning service providers, Nana Otedola has built a thriving business over the past 25 years.
A Business Empire Built on Quality
Founded in Lagos in 1999, Garment Care has grown into a premier laundry service, employing over 500 staff members. Under Nana’s leadership, the company has become known for its high-quality service and industry innovations.
Cuppy’s tweet not only celebrated her mother’s accomplishments but also highlighted Nana Otedola’s influence in the business sector, proving that women can take the lead and build lasting legacies.
The Otedola Family’s Legacy
While Nana Otedola has made a name for herself in business, the Otedola family is widely recognized for its impact on various industries. Her husband, Femi Otedola, is a billionaire businessman and philanthropist, known for his substantial donations, including a N5 billion contribution to the Save the Children Foundation. Their daughter, Cuppy, has also made waves in the entertainment industry, using her platform to promote female empowerment.
