The Rotary Club of Ikeja has commended its founding elders for their enduring contributions to the club’s growth and legacies. The Club honoured the senior members at a special Elders’ Celebration, held to commemorate its 58th anniversary.

President of the Ikeja Rotary Club, Olanrewaju Lawal, described the elders as custodians of the club’s values and traditions. She noted that since the club’s establishment in 1967, these individuals have played a vital role in sustaining its culture and guiding younger members.

A major highlight of the celebration was a lecture on peace and conflict resolution delivered by guest speaker Ayo Abraham. He emphasised the importance of leveraging the wisdom and experience of elders as mediators in resolving disputes within the club.
