The District Governor Matthias Oladeinde Shoga, District 9110 Rotary International visited the Rotary Club of Agbara on the 21st of December 2010.

During his visit, he commissioned various project while he also encourage members to contribute to Rotary Foundation in support of the Rotary projects world wide.

He charged the president Pascal Orisakwe and all members the club to work hard in order to earn the Rotary International Presidential Citation for 2010/11.

For me as a person it is once more a dream come true and to GOD be the glory.

My sincere appreciation goes to all my past presidents of RC Agbara, all members of the club and donors with whom we used their contribution during my installation as club president to execute all the projects that were commissioned during the DG visit.

NEW ERA AT ROTARY CLUB OF AGBARA

Fellow Rotarians, the 15th of December 2009, marked the day the Rotary club of Agbara held their general elections to identify the board that will lead, direct and handle the club affairs com rotary year 2010/2011.
Rotary club of Agbara was chartered April 2, 1985 and was sponsored by Rotary club of Badagry.
Among events for the day was the ratification of the President-Elect’s position which automatically made him incoming president, the election of the President- elect for that same Rotary year and the election of other board members for posts as the vice president, secretary, treasurer and four directors.
The Rotarians elected into these positions are as follows:
· Rotarian Pascal Orisakwe, who was ratified as incoming president has at different times held different positions in the club and has headed different committees. He has been past secretary 2005/06, 2006/07 including a number of other posts.
He is a past rotaractor president of the Rotaract club of Agbara 1998/99 and is generally known as a charismatic personality who is well known in the district.
· Rotarian Kate Aiyenigba was returned as President-elect having the honour of being the first female Rotarian to achieve this in rotary club of Agbara. She has been past secretary including heading different committees at different times in the clubs recent history.
· Past president Rotarian Pascal Ogbolu, M.D., a medical doctor, is a past president of the club. He was elected as vice president. In the by-laws of the rotary club of Agbara, this post is generally reserved for a past president.
His tenure as president was distinguished by the increase of the clubs membership.
· Rotarian John Edobor, a Mechanical Technologist, is a former Rotaractor. He was inducted Rotarian in to rotary year 2009/2010 and he must have shown a very strong desire to serve humanity, as he was as elected secretary for the incoming rotary year, just after being inducted.
· Past president Rotarian Egbamuno, a chemist was elected as treasurer
Four other distinguished Rotarians were elected as directors namely:
· Past president Rotarian Emedo Alex;
· Past president PHF Rotarian Peter Ademuyiwa;
· IPP Rotarian Patrick Emurese;
· Rotarian Debo Ogunlolu.
The elections were held in a spirit of camaraderie and were devoid of any form of rancour and unnecessary wrangling. Each nominated Rotarian was screened for eligibility using the bylaws of the club. All Rotarians present had one thing in mind: electing the best possible combination of Rotarians in order to have a successful 2010/2011 Rotary year for the Rotary club of Agbara.
