IN SHORT

Florence Ilaka’s life is an inspiring model for Nigerian women and men who desire to grow a career and simultaneously raise a family. Through methodical planning, prioritizing, and choosing work that she is passionate about, Ilaka has achieved her dreams both in her personal life and career. “I always tell my own children to go for their dreams, and that they will succeed if they work at it. If you work hard you will see the results and you will be happier in the end, especially if you keep an open mind toward other people, and toward opportunities and possibilities.”
