Family and friends celebrate Modupe Akpan at 50; a milestone marked by gratitude, faith, and a life of purpose and professional excellence.
Family, friends, and colleagues gathered on Thursday October 16, to celebrate Modupe Akpan, a woman of grace, strength, and excellence who turned 50.
Modupe is the Business Development Director at Neo Media & Marketing, a public relations, marketing and event management agency, where she also oversees client service engagement and company operations.
The celebrant is the younger sister to Oluwakemi, the wife of the Chairman/CEO of Neo Media & Marketing, and Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Naija Times and Lagos Post, Ehi Braimah.
With an analytical mind, and a strong background in finance and business management, Modupe has carved a unique niche for herself in the world of strategy, with competencies in event management, experiential marketing and brand development.
Her professional journey began in finance, as a Senior Accountant at PeopleTemp/Prime, where her passion for Human Resources Management was born.
Over the years, her career evolved and led her into the advertising and marketing space, where she discovered her enthusiasm for events and experiential marketing.
Today, she is widely respected for her expertise in business start-ups, HR management, and client strategy, with a diverse portfolio spanning the professional services, banking, telecoms, and advertising sectors.
Beyond the boardroom, Modupe is a devoted wife to her loving husband, Pastor Ofon Akpan, and a proud mother of two amazing children, Utibe and Abasiono.
Her personal life is grounded in faith and gratitude – values that were evident during the intimate prayer session held at her home on her 50th birthday.
A thanksgiving service will follow at The Stone Church, Ikeja, as the Akpan family offers thanks to God for His enduring faithfulness.
One of the proud moments during the milestone celebration on October 16 was the surprise appearance of her UK-based big sister, Mrs. Bukola Olakotan, whose presence brought joy and happiness to the celebrant. Bukola flew from London to Lagos on the eve of her birthday.
For Modupe, turning 50 is not just a milestone; it is a testament to God’s grace, a reflection on purpose, and a moment of renewal.
