MANAGEMENT TEAM

MRS IRENE TITILOLA ADEGUN (Board Chairwoman)

Mrs Irene Titilola Adegun graduated as a Computer Scientist. Her passion for catering and Events management took her to the Federal Government Catering Training School Kaduna. Whenever passion collides with entrepreneurship, a viable business is born. Mrs Adegun virtually abandoned the computer industry to carve a niche in the Outdoor Catering business. Mrs Titilola Adegun rapidly grew in business and was known for her organisational capacity to handle big events. The Kaduna Petroleum Refinery became one of her biggest customers where she handled events for thousands many times. She is the CEO of GLORYLAND Catering and Events Management. Relocating to Ibadan in 1992 was expected to slow down the business But in no time she settled into handling social and corporate events. Royalties who tasted her food literally adopted her as Caterer for Kings and the name Gloryland was synonymous with Palace events. Governors and Past Presidents acknowledged her penchant for excellence. This evaluation has translated many times into wide travels within and outside Nigeria to cater at Special events. Mrs Adegun did not need to spend money on bill boards and publicity. Her satisfied customers became her publicity. In no time, the word went around Europe and the USA that there is a Caterer and an Events Planner who could organise any social event with utmost dexterity. Gloryland had an international nick name - Pay your bills in advance and go to bed. Mrs Adegun believed in raising others. She has trained and mentored many people who are now doing very well in the Catering business. That is her joy and satisfaction. Mrs Lola Adegun was not just a successful business woman, she was active in Christian Service. She was the National President of the Covenant Women (the umbrella arm for the women) of New Covenant Church Nigeria for almost a decade. Mrs Lola Adegun has had international exposure having taught in several leadership meetings and conferences in Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya , Madagascar and South Africa. Married for over 41 years, the Lord blessed the family with 4 Godly children and 7 wonderful grandchildren. Gloryland had also received awards from reputable organisations, Awards for Excellence from Covenant University and the Ladies Arm of the Business Fellowship International. She is also an ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
