Dr. Moses Olawale Olanrewaju as the president-elect of club was supervised by the Rotary District 9111 Governor, Rotarian Oluwole Kukoyi, Kukoyi and the guest speaker, Dr. Adekunbi Wuraola, charged rotarians to be deliberate in their service to humanity.
They urged them to continue to render service to humanity and build a sustainable society.

Following his investiture, Adedokun solicited the support of members, stressing that with togetherness, the club can make magical moves towards an irresistible community impact through service to humanity.
He said: “My passionate interest in serving humanity began with my membership in Junior Chamber International over three decades ago. During this period, I was trained to be a servant leader who prioritises teamwork, unity, and professionalism—essential rudiments of organizational development.
“To further my commitment to passionately serve humanity, I joined Rotary in 2022 as a founding member and Charter Secretary of the Rotary Club of Rock City. Today, I am deeply honoured to be instashareas the third president of our club and the pioneer president in District 9111.
“In three years, we initiated and executed an obesity inter-district project, secured a district grant to deliver a standard two-room public toilet to the community, served outstandingly in various district committees, and won a Rotary International Citation.”
He disclosed that the club has a budget of N24.9 million earmarked for projects for the 2024-2025 Magic of Rotary year, adding that “it is a considerable amount, especially considering our current economic climate. However, I firmly believe in small share sponsorship, where everyone’s honest contributions can come together to achieve our set goals.”
He further appealed to the club leaders and members to believe in his personality and approaches, which are based on his vast organisational exposure, as according to him, “I am always passionate and committed to whatever I choose to do, especially when it involves human capacity development, service to humanity, and mingling.”
