The official visit of Imaginative District Governor Omotunde Lawson, FCAI to Rotary Club of Isolo on Friday, August 12 started with a courtesy visit to the Osolo of Isolo, His Royal Majesty, Oba Kabiru Agbabiaka.
Next was flag-off of the club’s cervical cancer screening for women, prostate cancer screening for men, as well as free eye screening for all.
The club also launched its micro credit scheme during which a sum of N1million was presented to market women in the community.
The DG also joined the club in a tree planting exercise in Isolo General Hospital, alongside Lagos State Parks and Gardens (LASPARK) official, Mrs Halimat Adeniji representing the General Manager, Mrs Adetoun Ibilola Popoola, and the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Aderade Ijogun.
The club also led the Imaginative DG and her team to the club’s cervical cancer centre building which is under construction at Isolo General Hospital. The cervical cancer centre was the initiative of the Immediate Past President of the club, Rotarian Raji Tejumola-Taiwo during her year as president of the club.
The building project has been inherited by the current president who hopes to complete and commission it this Rotary year as funds are being raised. He instantly donated a sum of N2million towards that end.
The club’s Imaginative President, Rotarian Dr. Engr Atilade Femi Oshoniyi hosted the meeting virtually as he is currently in the United States of America but was fully represented in-person by the President Elect of the club.
He however fully participated online all through the visit, from the project commissioning to the club assembly, to the club fellowship where two new Rotarians who joined online courtesy of the club president were inducted virtually and one inducted in-person.
During the club fellowship, the club further presented a project carried out in collaboration with Innerwheel Club of Isolo and Rotaract Club of Isolo.
While the Inner wheel club sponsored four ladies, two in fashion design and two in hairdressing skill acquisition, the Rotaract club sponsored two boys in barbing skill acquisition. The Rotary Club then complemented their both efforts with donating 2 hair dressing machines, 2 sewing machines, and two sets of barbing tools for the six beneficiaries.
The Doyen of the club, Past District Governor, Asiwaju Dr. Olawale Cole was also fully present all through the visit.
