Rotary International District 9110, comprising Rotary clubs in Lagos and Ogun States of Nigeria, has donated the sum of two million naira in support of the Lagos State Government’s initiative to provide relief for the victims of the recent fire disaster in Abule-Ado in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State.
In an interview at the Rotary Centre, Ikeja GRA, Lagos on Thursday, the District Governor, Jide Akeredolu stated that being the foremost Humanitarian Service Organisation in the world, Rotary is known for such interventions as this, which are carried out by Clubs and Districts in many parts of the world to provide succour for those who are disadvantaged by one reason or the other in the society.
According to him, it became expedient for the District to respond to the call by the Lagos State Government at this material time, going by the degree of humanitarian situation that suddenly occurred as a result of the inferno which devastated such a large community, claiming lives and leaving many people wounded, homeless or stranded.
