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.
