Fadeyi, who said the handing-over ceremony was seamless, lauded his predecessor, the immediate past President, Rotarian Olufemi Olayinka Akerele and described him as an exemplary leader who did a lot to charter the club.
“My vision is very simple, which is to key into the shoes of my predecessor by stabilising the club in terms of membership and bringing in more members.
“We would create awareness of this club which is new in this area by erecting a signpost and endeavour to bring in members from the surrounding villages and communities,” he said.
Fadeyi enumerating some other things he would do, said the club would be sinking a borehole in Iroko village.
He added that they would continue with the adopted schools where the club shared bags and big notes.
The president disclosed that the star project for his tenure would be infrastructural development for the adopted school, Akera Community Primary school.
He noted the deplorable state of the school with the roofs of the classrooms leaking whenever it rains while the chunk of the school has been taken over by erosion.
Fadeyi groaned at the pitiable condition of the pupils in the school which accentuated the desire of club members to promise sewing uniforms for some of them.
He disclosed that the club would be sending four youths to Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), and planned to make meaningful contributions to Rotary Foundation as well as Rotary International District 9110’s Endowment and Welfare Educational Fund Scholarship (DEWEF), among others.
The immediate past President, Rotarian Akerele described his tenure as successful, pointing to the club winning a Rotary citation within its one year of existence.
“We started the year with 27 members and today, we are 38 members and we were able to touch virtually every aspect of the Rotary International seven areas of focus. I am leaving behind the legacy that the best you can do as a human being is service to humanity,” he said.
