She is the group managing director of The Rose of Sharon Group and the executive vice chairman of Famfa Oil Limited Alakija started her 12-year banking career in 1974 as an executive secretary at Sijuade Enterprises in Lagos, Nigeria. She moved to the former First National Bank of Chicago, which later became FinBank now acquired by First City Monument Bank as the Executive Secretary to the Managing Director.

She was the president and lifelong trustee of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN). In May 1993, Alakija applied for the allocation of an oil prospecting license (OPL).The license to explore for oil on a 617,000-acre block, which is about 100km offshore of Nigeria in the Agbami Field was granted to Alakija's company, Famfa Limited. In September 1996, Alakija entered into a joint venture agreement with Star Deep Water Petroleum Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Texaco) transferring a 40 percent stake to Star Deep. After they struck oil, the Nigerian government claimed a 40% stake, followed by an additional 10%. The government argued that if Alakija and her family were allowed to keep their block, Alakija would dispute this claim and win. Alakija established the Rose of Sharon Foundation that helps widows and orphans through scholarships and business grants. Alakija has donated a skills acquisition center to Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech), a higher educational institution located in Lagos. Alakija married Modupe Alakija in November 1976.
