The actress, whose full name is Dr (Chief) Mrs Ololajulo Elizabeth Anjorin-Lawal, was recognised in two categories at the ceremony organised by StarBoy Temidayo.
She received the Business Personality of the Year 2026 award and the Most Valuable Personality (MVP) of the Year 2026 – Ruby Special Award.
The double recognition celebrates her contributions to entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion, philanthropy and societal development.
The honours further add to the list of recognitions received by the actress, who has built a career in the Yoruba movie industry while establishing business interests outside entertainment.
Anjorin’s Journey In Nollywood
Popularly known as Lizzy Anjorin, the actress has become a familiar name in the Nigerian entertainment industry through her work as a performer and film producer.
Born in Badagry, Lagos State, she has built her career through determination and resilience, gradually establishing herself in the Yoruba movie industry.
Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Transport Planning and Management from Olabisi Onabanjo University. She also holds two honorary doctorate degrees.
Beyond her academic qualifications, Anjorin has received 23 chieftaincy titles in recognition of her contributions to society.
In Nollywood, she has featured in and produced several films, earning recognition for her involvement in Yoruba-language productions.
Some of the movies associated with her include Ise Onise, Arewa Ejo, Owowunmi, Tolani Gbarada, Gold, Kofo Tinubu and Owo Naira Bet.
Her work in the industry has helped establish her profile as both an actress and a producer, with her activities extending beyond appearing in films to overseeing productions.
Business Interests Beyond Entertainment
Away from acting, Anjorin has developed business interests across different sectors, including gold jewellery, luxury fashion, fabrics and real estate.
Her entrepreneurial activities have contributed to her reputation as a businesswoman, with the latest Business Personality of the Year award recognising this aspect of her career.
She is also the Chief Executive Officer of California Paradise City, located in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
Her involvement in business has allowed her to build a public profile beyond the entertainment industry, combining filmmaking with commercial ventures.
The two awards presented at the Nigeria-Canadian Celebrities Entertainment Awards therefore recognise different aspects of her professional journey.
While the Business Personality of the Year honour highlights her entrepreneurial activities, the MVP of the Year – Ruby Special Award acknowledges her wider influence and contributions across various fields.
Double Recognition Adds To Her Awards
The latest honours add to the recognitions Anjorin has received over the years for her work in entertainment and business.
Her career has combined acting, film production and entrepreneurship, while her philanthropic activities have also formed part of her public engagements.
The actress’s journey from Badagry to becoming an established figure in Nollywood and business has remained a significant part of her public profile.
Her achievements across these areas have helped position her as a personality whose activities extend beyond filmmaking.
The November 4 ceremony brought together entertainers, business personalities and other stakeholders to celebrate individuals recognised for their accomplishments and contributions to society.
Organised by StarBoy Temidayo, the ninth edition of the Nigeria-Canadian Celebrities Entertainment Awards provided a platform for acknowledging personalities across different sectors.
Anjorin emerged as one of the major recipients at the event, taking home two awards on the same occasion.
The recognition comes as she continues to maintain her presence in the Yoruba movie industry while pursuing her business interests.
With the latest honours, the actress has added two more awards to her collection, reflecting her involvement in entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion and other areas of public life.
