Dressed in a striking green and lemon ‘agbada and shokoto’ ensemble paired with intricate accessories such as red coral beads and a gold chain, Oreagba exuded elegance and charm.
Behind Oreagba’s striking appearance lies a remarkable life story. A finance professional with a prestigious educational background, he graduated from Oxford and holds a master’s degree from the University of East London. As a former managing director of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and Securities, Oreagba’s career has been marked by success and resilience.
Despite facing health challenges in the past, including a battle with osteosarcoma and carcinoma, Oreagba emerged victorious and was declared cancer-free after two years.
