Congratulations on the 60th anniversary of Rotary Club of Lagos. What’s the plan for celebration? Is it going to be virtual considering we are still in a pandemic?
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has told us that we can now dance, however, he warns us to be careful and limit our gathering to 500 people. This is the oldest Rotary Club in the District; we have eminent people and achievers in their businesses or professions who have passed through the Club, including the late Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, Adeyemo Alakija,
