An educationist, Nigeria's ambassador to Netherlands, Dr.Nimota Akanbi, is not known to host parties at the drop of a hat. She exhibited another side of her last weekend when, full of gaiety, she hosted the crème of society to a grand soiree. This was when her son, Abdulrahaman got married to Iradat, daughter of Sheikh Sulaiman and Alhaja Rahamat Onikijikpa.

Being prominent families in Ilorin, Kwara State, the Akanbis and Onikijikpas brought their social clout to bear at the classy Nikkah ceremony cum reception which took place at the prestigious Oriental Hotel, Lagos. Prior to this, the couple and their families had celebrated their traditional marriage in Ilorin.

Some of the dignitaries in attendance include Dr.Bukola Saraki who chaired the occasion, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro; Onyeka Onwenu and Hajia Bola Shagaya to mention but a few.
