The amiable President/ President, CEO of GCA Energy Limited, Mr Greg Uanseru was filled with immense joy when he turned 65 during the week.
The ebullient gentleman known for his understated elegance and class began the day with a Thanksgiving service at the Catholic Church of the Presentation, GRA, Ikeja.
Accompanied by his wives Emma and Betty, and two of his children, Mr Uanseru was chauffeur-driven to the ceremony in a gleaming Rolls Royce Cullinan.
Adorning his trademark white attire, he exchanged pleasantries with friends and family members before heading to the front row.
The service itself was lively. Excellent songs and hymns spiced with a session of prayers.
In his sermon, Rev. Father Panachy Ogbede described Mr Uanseru as a humble person who grew up from very humble beginnings and never forgot his roots.
He said the celebrant was a passionate philanthropist, who has touched many lives with his wealth.
The preacher advised the celebrant to now focus the rest of his life on building a legacy and working at making heaven.
Thereafter, the celebrant, family and friends were invited for the Thanksgiving dance after which they were showered with prayers and holy water.
That over, the celebration train moved to his lovely home in Ikeja, GRA, where the poolside had been creatively transformed by FlowerPlus Events to a lovely party venue.
With DJ Bola Giwa of Freshwaves and a band dishing out a medley of good songs, Bonix Drinks serving classy drinks, an assortment of meals and grills flowing freely, the party was topnotch.
