Early life and education Foluke Kafayat Abdulrazaq was born on 16 April 1956. She hails from the Abibu Oki family of Lagos State and the Labisi Olugbesan clan of Ibadan.

Following her tenure in public service (1997–1999), she was appointed Executive Director of ML Securities Limited (1999–2001), a stockbroking firm, and subsequently worked at the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited, where she led several departments including Administration Management Services and Commercial and Corporate Development. In recognition of her boardroom contributions, she also served as Vice-President of the Bank Directors' Association of Nigeria (BDAN).

During her tenure as Finance Commissioner, the broad policies underpinning the Lagos State Accelerated Revenue Generation Programme (ARGP) were formulated — a revenue template widely credited as the foundation for Lagos State's contemporary fiscal efficiency. The college was established to prepare Nigerian secondary school leavers for entry into universities both locally and internationally, addressing the "Japa Syndrome" of students emigrating abroad for education.

By its 20th anniversary in 2024, BHC had graduated over 3,000 A-Level students who entered professional life and entrepreneurship in Nigeria and abroad.
