These his unassailable entrepreneurial instincts have made him business mogul and guru in corporate good governance. His managerial acumen is second-to-none and his laudable achievements in all the industries he had ventured into are indelible.
Starting from the humble beginning according his oral narration to Olajide Adeolu, when he used to sell buttons and threads for sewing clothes, Chief Okoya has become household name equally popular with our national currency, ”NAIRA”. This is because hardly will you someone who will pretend he or she does not know or hear about “Eleganza Products”. The popular Yoruba maxim that, “Eleganza gba mi, odun de” which connotes, “Eleganza rescue me, it’s festive period” is a testament that this tower figure in manufacturing industries produces basic items needed to have joyful and memorable festive seasons.
Chief Okoya is also the irresistible toast of every Paparazzi (cameraman/woman) as he adds glamour and glitz to every occasion he attends as well as the inevitable news-maker to every reporter/writer covering social gathering or event that this erudite businessman graces. He is a lovable news-maker and not noisemaker and could make any Print Media adorning him on its cover page sell millions in copies and smiling to the bank in millions in profits.
But behind the fashion style of Chief Okoya is Olajide Adeolu Oboromboro, the Founder/Chairman of, “Ade-Olu Fashion Centre”. Olajide is a renowned fashionista and Czar of fashion worlds whose creativity, ingenuity and versatility know no bound. He’s 5-Star General in fashion world with admiralty in unique styles.

The Centre also engages in merchants and commercials of arrays of quality textile materials (local and foreign made) such as: Aso-Oke, Sanyan, Wools, Cottons, Chinos, Ankara, Adire Kampala, Lace, Guinea etc.
Meanwhile, the most fascinating thing about the inspiring and mentoring stories of Mr. Olajide is that he learns the skills and techniques of tailoring services from no one saves that his dad of blessed memory used to ask him to sit at his tailoring shop then after closing from school. And while sitting as onlooker, he used to lend helping hands to his father while the man was busy with his sewing machines so as to meet up with client’s delivery appointment. From there, he discovered his potentials and developed keen interest in the tailoring services. The rest they say, “is history”. And today, he has to his credit, many dignitaries and eminent personalities in his clienteles among whom are:
George Adesola Oguntade (CFR, CON), is a retired Nigerian jurist who served as Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria from May 19, 2004 to May 10, 2010 and was Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, - Chief Samuel Adedoyin, The founder of Doyin Group of Companies,
- His Royal Majesty, Oba Alayeluwa Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla III,
- Oba Adesesan Afolorunso Oguntayo, The Ajalorun of Ijebu-Ife,
- Oba Mufutau Adesanya Kasali Iboriaran I, Moyegeso of Itele,
- Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II, The current Oniru of Iru-Land to mention few of other notable customers
Icing to the cake of the success story of “Ade-Olu Fashion Centre” is that he has also put his daughter in the fashion and style industry. This according to him is that, “Success without succession plan to sustain the successful story is a significant failure”. Therefore, at Ita-faaji, Lagos Island, Lagos State, one will find “WASLAT Couture” not only “doing well” professionally but “doing the profession proud” as good ambassador and successor upholding the beacon of “Ade-Olu Fashion Centre” high. And one can boldly say that tailoring services have become “generational profession” in the family of Adeolu Oboromboro as WASLAT Couture is now the third generation making topnotch career in tailoring services and making louder ovation in fashion world.
