By Rasaq Adebayo
The newly installed president of the youth wing of Rotary Club International, Rotaract Club, Isolo Chapter, Rotaractor Rasak Adebola Akinyemi, has appealed to other members of the club to give him the needed support to be successful.
Akinyemi, who was elected the 34th president of the club, made the appeal while speaking to our correspondent, saying he could not alone achieve success in running the affairs of the club.
Akinyemi, an HND holder in Accountancy from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), has been a member of the club since 2013 and rose through the ranks to become the president-elect last year but was inaugurated on Saturday, last week during a ceremony held at the Isolo of Isolo Hall.
While expressing gratitude to the club and its sponsor – Rotary Club of Isolo for the honour to be the president and the supports he has received so far, the new club president solicited more supports from all and sundry towards achieving the developmental projects the club has proposed to execute in the community.
He said: “I’m highly honoured to have been elected as the president of this great and noble club of ours for a period of 12 months. The Rotary International President has charged us all this year to ‘Open Opportunities’ and what else can we do than to create unlimited opportunities that will put smiles on the faces of everyone. Alone, I can say but together can talk. Alone, I can enjoy but together we can celebrate. Alone, I can smile but together we can laugh. That’s the beauty of human relations, we are nothing without each other.”
He emphasised that the club needs donation to execute proposed projects which, include the donation of Rotary four-way test plaque to a strategic location in Isolo, donation of school uniforms to 100 students within Isolo Community, commissioning of zebra-crossing at Ago Roundabout among others.
