October 24, (THEWILL) – The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has taken Temitope Adesegun as his sixth wife.
The ceremony took place at MRA Community hall in Magodo Phase 2, Shangisha, Lagos.
Just like the wedding ceremony of the other queens, except Olori Mariam Anako, the Ooni was conspicuously absent, but his royal staff, chiefs and guards were on ground to represent the traditional ruler.
Adesegun is a princess from Ijebuland. She is a divorcee based in Lagos State. She has a vast experience working in both the public and private sectors.
During the Babatunde Fashola administration, she was the Personal Assistant to the late Secretary to the State Government, Princess Aderenle Adeniran-Ogunsanya.
She has a diploma in Linguistics and Data Processing from the University of Lagos in 1998 and 2000, respectively, and a bachelor’s in Business Administration from the same university.
She has also worked in the media as she was the anchor and host of the Lagos State Ministry of Health Public Health Advocacy Program, ‘Health-Wise’ aired for four years.
Adesegun is a certified alumnus of several universities, including the University of Oxford, United Kingdom; INSEAD Business School, Fontainebleau, France; University of Cambridge, Judge Business School, United Kingdom; and Harvard Kennedy School of Government in the United States.
She recently teamed up with the Ooni to set up the Hopes Alive Initiative, which provides amenities to underserved communities.
