The gathering, held on Saturday, October 17, at the upscale De Toprano Lounge in Ikeja, provided an opportunity for Queen PhinaDon to reconnect with her colleagues and spend quality time with her team. As the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PDMI Solutions, she used the occasion to appreciate the contributions of those supporting her growing entertainment and media ventures.

The celebrity author recently launched her two books, My Last Journey to Nigeria and Unseen Untold, in Copenhagen on July 4, 2026. Both publications have further strengthened her profile as a creative entrepreneur with interests spanning entertainment, publishing, humanitarian initiatives, and event management.

Despite her return to Nigeria, Queen PhinaDon has yet to confirm whether she will host a reading and signing session, titled “Meet the Author,” for her fans and readers in Lagos.
