This is just as he described the new president, Rotarian Judith Akpomejevwe Nwachukwu, as a “hard-working woman that can lead the club to greater heights.”
Agas stated these during the investiture of Rotarian Judith Akpomejevwe Nwachukwu, CEO, Judenith Nigeria Ltd, as the 4th President of Rotary Club of Sapele Urban District 9141, Nigeria, for the 2018/2019 Rotary year, at Fountain Hotel in Sapele Local Government Area of the state.
The Delta SSG assured the new President that with what he had seen, the state government, led by Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, will support and partner with her to achieve her laudable Community Development Projects, for the 2018/2019 Rotary year which he said, was in line with the governor’s SMART AGENDA.
“After listening to the incoming president highlight what she intends to achieve during her tenure, I am satisfied, and the government of Delta State will partner with Rotarian Judith, Rotary Club in Sapele and the club all over Nigeria.
“As a friend of Rotary, I want to state that I am satisfied with the level of development so far and I will contribute meaningfully to the Rotary Club of Sapele Urban.
“When I get back to Asaba, I will report back to the governor Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and we will all partner with the club,” he added.

The SSG, who was also conferred with an honorary member Rotary award during the installation ceremony, however, stated that with Judith Nwachukwu as the president, the club was in good hands as she is capable of changing lives in the society.
In his valedictory speech, the outgoing President, Rtn. Kagho Okpeki, said that during Lady Judith’s tenure, being the 4th and first female president, “new grounds will be broken in membership.”
He added: “As I hand over the baton of the helms of affairs of the Rotary Club Sapele Urban to Rotarian Lady Judith Nwachukwu, I trust and I am confident to say that the club is in good hands and she will lead the club to greater heights.”
Highpoints of the ceremony were the presentation of awards and induction of Mr. Agas, Austin Avuru, Chief Executive Officer, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc and others as Honourary members of Rotary Club of Sapele Urban District 9141.
Speaking to journalists, Rtn. Nwachukwu, noted that Rotary is another platform for her to carry on her mission of touching lives, saying that before she joined the club, such tasks have always been a part of her life.
According to her, she wants to see youths get out of drugs, saying that the ‘Push Back Drug’ concept is very dear to her heart.
Judith, who’s also a Gospel musician, said that to achieve this feat, she would organize music concerts in the area with the collaboration of music stars in the country.
“I want to help women build their self-confidence so that many of them can see that they are not just mere sex toys, but people with value and therefore not allow anyone tramples on them,” she noted.
Speaking further, she said that the members should expect a more energetic and visible club, saying that more females would join the club which at the moment has few female members.
“I want to see youths get out of drugs; I want to see the women build their self-confidence that they are not just sex toys, but people with great values and people made by God.
“I want to teach the market women basic accounting; I intend to donate desk to schools that are less privileged; I want to organise seminars that will help women build their self-esteem, give mosquito nets to women,” she added.
