The First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has expressed happiness with the Rotary Club for continued commitment to humanitarian service and alignment with the state’s development goals.

Speaking during the fundraising and investiture of Adekunmilola Adio-Moses as the 22nd President of the Rotary Club of Omole-Golden, Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the wife of the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Funmilayo Omotoso, commended the organization’s efforts in promoting health, education, and community development, which are the key focus areas of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration.

She added that Rotary’s interventions align with the state government’s THEMES+ agenda, which emphasizes healthcare, education, social welfare, and sustainable urban development.

She said, “Rotary’s dedication to community service strongly complements our administration’s efforts to improve the lives of Lagosians.

“As we celebrate this milestone, I urge everyone here to reflect on how we can collectively make a difference. With partnerships like these, we can build a more equitable and prosperous society for all.”

She further urged other non-governmental organizations and stakeholders to emulate Rotary’s model of service and civic responsibility.

On his part, Lagos State Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mosopefolu George, who was the guest speaker, commended the Club for its impactful initiatives aimed at uplifting the less privileged.

In his acceptance speech, the new President of the Rotary Club of Omole-Golden, Adio-Moses, disclosed, “we will serve not for recognition, but because we genuinely care. We will give, not for applause, but because the needs around us are real.”

Adio-Moses also urged members to work together in unity, stating, “let us work together in harmony, leveraging our diverse strengths and experiences. Unity will be our strategy; service will be our identity.”

“We will also seek strong partnerships with government agencies, civil society organisations, and community leaders, knowing that meaningful and sustainable change often requires collaboration beyond our club walls.”
