PHOTOS: Ilaji Resort Boss, Dotun Sanusi, Remembers Mum 12 Years After, Holds Interdenominational Prayer

It was yet another time for the Sanusis of Olugbade family, Oja’aba and Adedejis of Ilaji Compound both from Ibadan to offer a special prayer for their late Matriach, Madam Muslimot Abegbe Sanusi.

Madam Sanusi who died exactly 12 years ago today is the mother of Chief Dotun Sanusi, a foremost Ibadan-born investor.

The prayer which was jointly held by both Christian and Islamic clerics at the Indoor Sports Hall of Ilaji Resort had very few family members in attendance, the reason which is in connection of the state government’s guidelines on COVID-19 social gathering.

The clerics who took turn to pray for Madam Sanusi urged people in attendance to be Godly in everything they do.

Madam Muslimot Abegbe Sanusi was a popular trader during her lifetime and it was through her dexterity and popularity in trading that earned her the alias ‘Ilaji’.

Sanusi, a petroleum-engineer by profession who is also the Chief Executive Officer, ICAST Schools and TNL, in a bid to immortalise his late mother has established two of his companies, Ilaji Farms and Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort, after his late mother’s alias.

It will be recalled that Chief Dotun Sanusi, has also sponsored Madam Muslim Abegbe Sanusi Memorial Cup, MASM, a multi-million naira female football tournament, in the past two years just to immortalise her late mother.
