The lawmaker representing Oshodi Constituency I at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Olukayode Ogundipe, has pledged to uphold transparency, unity, and a renewed commitment to community service as he assumes office as the new President of the Rotary Club of Ewutuntun.
Ogundipe made the promise during his valedictory speech at the club’s leadership handover ceremony held in Lagos.
In his address, he outlined his priorities for the Rotary year, which include deepening impact across Rotary International’s Seven Areas of Focus, expanding partnerships, mentoring youth, and fostering stronger unity among members.
He expressed gratitude to members of the club for their trust and support, noting that his appointment was not merely a position of privilege, but a call to continue the legacy of excellence built by past leaders of the Rotary Club of Ewutuntun.
Ogundipe also lauded the club’s recent accolade as the Overall Best Club in District 9111 for the 2024–2025 Rotary year, describing it as a testament to the collective dedication of members, past presidents, and partners.
He paid special tribute to the immediate past president, Rotarian Bukonla Alamu, for her “visionary leadership, grace, and the strong foundation” laid for further growth and impact.
In her farewell remarks, Alamu urged her successor to lead with courage, vision, and passion, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the unity and service-driven spirit that defines Rotary.
Also speaking at the event, the outgoing Assistant Governor to the Rotary Club of Ewutuntun, Rotarian Bamidele Onolaja, encouraged Ogundipe to remain focused and uphold the club’s record of excellence.
