The installation and fundraising ceremony is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at The Event Centre Limited, Ikeja, Lagos.
The event is expected to bring together Rotarians, distinguished guests, friends of the club, and other well-wishers to celebrate leadership, service, and community impact.
With its official slogan, “The Icon,” the club continues to uphold the ideals of Rotary through service, fellowship, and a commitment to making a positive difference in society.
A Journey of Revival and Growth
The Rotary Club of Abule-Egba Metropolitan has a history of resilience and revival. The club emerged following the collapse of an earlier club in June 2009, which was attributed to members’ lack of commitment and insufficient dedication to its growth.
Determined to revive the Rotary spirit, members and stakeholders worked towards establishing a new club. The first organised meeting of the Rotary Club of Abule-Egba Metropolitan was held on August 26, 2010.
The club subsequently received its charter on April 15, 2011, at the Rotary Centre in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, with Rtn. Jimmy Irinnoyenikan serving as its Charter President.
Since its establishment, the club has continued its journey within the Rotary movement, promoting fellowship and service while working towards its organisational goals.
New Leadership, Renewed Commitment
The installation of Rtn. Surveyor Adejimi Olalekan Abiodun as the club’s 16th President will mark another milestone in its leadership journey.
He will succeed the outgoing administration led by Rtn. Adeola B. Felix, who served as the immediate past President. Rtn. Aderibigbe A. Yomi is the President-Elect.
The forthcoming ceremony will also provide an opportunity to mobilise support for the club’s activities and community-oriented initiatives through fundraising.
The event’s emphasis on service and impact reflects Rotary’s broader mission of bringing people together to address community needs and promote goodwill.
