“In the Rotary world, the incumbent president carries the name of the current Rotary here; so is the Hope President for 2023/2024. And as the president-elect, you are been saddled with the responsibility to begin to prepare as the next president of Rotary for 2024/2025. Rotary is just service. It is a big service world where each and every member does something to the community in some focused area, and this helps us to at least touch life in a different way”.
“My message to Nigerians is that if you are not a Rotarian, find a way to so you can at least do something to Nigerians. Also, the government should respond to the needs of the community by making sure that each member’s life can be better. Rotarians should believe and do more because Rotary is good when you can invest your time, Treasury and your resources to make things better.”
