Welcoming Rotary International President Francesco Arezzo to Nigeria
It is a proud and defining moment for both the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt GRA and the entire Rotary community in Nigeria! The President of Rotary International, Francesco Arezzo, and his spouse, Anna Maria Arezzo, are currently undertaking an official one-week country tour of Nigeria.
A Warm Reception in Lagos
During his initial stop in Lagos, President Arezzo was warmly received by the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. This high-profile meeting underscored the vital, ongoing partnership between Rotary and government bodies in advancing humanitarian service and creating sustainable community impact.
Adding immense pride to the occasion, the President’s distinguished entourage includes two of our very own leaders from Rotary International District 9141:
-
Rtn. Yinka Babalola, Rotary International President-Elect
-
Rtn. Ijeoma Pearl Okoro, Rotary Foundation Trustee
Arrival in Port Harcourt
The high-level delegation is scheduled to arrive in Port Harcourt on Monday. True to form, the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt GRA will join forces with other clubs across District 9141 to welcome the RI President and his spouse in grand, unforgettable style.
This historic visit is far more than ceremonial. It serves as a powerful reaffirmation of Rotary’s growing influence in Nigeria and a renewed call to action for Service Above Self. As People of Action, we stand fully ready to showcase the strength, unity, and profound impact of Rotary right here in our district!
