Layal Jade Tinubu, wife of Seyi Tinubu and daughter-in-law of President Bola Tinubu, has been appointed a director of EbonyLife Cinemas & Entertai
Layal Jade Tinubu, wife of Seyi Tinubu and daughter-in-law of President Bola Tinubu, has been appointed a director of EbonyLife Cinemas & Entertainment Limited, a company founded by Nigerian media entrepreneur Mosunmola Abudu.
Corporate records show that Layal was appointed to the board on August 18, 2026, under the name Layal Jade Nielsen Tinubu.
Her appointment came three months after the company was incorporated in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2026.
EbonyLife Cinemas & Entertainment Limited is a subsidiary of Abudu’s EbonyLife media and entertainment business, which has interests in television production and film distribution.
Abudu is listed as the company’s founder and person with significant control. The records indicate that she owns 75 per cent or more of its shares and voting rights.
Layal, however, is not listed as a shareholder. Her position in the company is limited to her appointment as a director, according to the corporate filings.
The appointment places the President’s daughter-in-law on the board of a British company established as part of Abudu’s entertainment business expansion.
The development comes as Abudu pursues the expansion of EbonyLife’s cinema and entertainment interests in the United Kingdom.
The corporate filings provide details of Layal’s appointment, including the date and the name under which she was registered. They do not, however, indicate the nature of her role in the company’s operations or the circumstances surrounding her appointment.
