Founder of Stanel Group and The Delborough Lagos, Dr Stanley Uzochukwu, has congratulated the Erelu Kuti IV of Lagos, Dr Chief Abiola Dosumu, on her 80th birthday, describing her as an inspiring leader whose support has contributed to his business journey.

In a statement personally signed by the businessman, Uzochukwu thanked the Lagos royal figure for what he described as her confidence in him and her continued support over the years.

“As one of your sons, I heartily congratulate you on this special occasion and join your family, friends, subjects and well-wishers in celebrating the grace of God upon your life and your impactful leadership,” he said.

He also expressed appreciation for her encouragement and support, praying for continued good health, wisdom, grace and prosperity as she marks the milestone.

Dosumu was installed as Erelu Kuti IV of Lagos by the late Oba Adeyinka Oyekan in 1980. As the ceremonial queen mother of Lagos, she plays an important role within the traditional institution and serves as regent following the death of a reigning Oba until a substantive successor is selected by the kingmakers.

The 80th birthday celebrations have drawn tributes from prominent personalities, traditional institutions and well-wishers, who have acknowledged her decades of service and contributions to Lagos’ cultural heritage.
