When you talk of class and elegance, the beautiful Queen of Warri Kingdom in Delta State, Olori Ivie Emiko-Atuwatse III, should best be ascribed with that qualification. Given her majestic status, Olori Ivie commands respect and honour both home and abroad. With the accolades of royalty and splendour, one can never be disappointed with her clean dress sense that showcases her decent upbringing. Barely two years that her husband, Ogiame Atuwatse III ascended the throne of his forebears as the 21st Olu of Warri, Olori Ivie has been engaging in a whole lot of life-changing laudable projects and organising programmes both home and abroad to better the lives of their subjects —stretched across eight communities in the state.
As a trained lawyer, Olori Ivie has been able to distinguish herself as a multi-talented queen whose role in the management of the family multi-million dollar conglomerate hasn’t passed as a fluke. And many are taking note of her versatility. A few weeks ago, Olori Ivie was named as one of the 100 Most Influential Businesswomen in the world by Pleasures Magazine —a bi-monthly Pan-African Entrepreneurship and Lifestyles Magazine. As she savours that recognition, the Queen was again tipped as a special guest of honour and a keynote speaker at an interactive dinner and networking event organised by Dotmount Communications at the prestigious Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja. According to the organisers, the Olori was chosen as keynote speaker because of her impact running many businesses and her foundation yet graciously playing her roles as Queen Consort of Warri kingdom. The event was to commemorate the annual International Women’s Day with the Queen speaking on the topic: “Embrace Equality”.
