She passed away at the age of 42 after a brief illness in the United Kingdom.
The news of her death, which broke in the early hours of Thursday has sent shockwaves through political and business circles, where she was a well-known figure.
Bisola was a prominent entrepreneur in Nigeria’s luxury retail industry and served as the Managing Director of Grandex Nigeria Ltd., a leading FMCG retail and wholesale chain established in 1984.
