The VP was represented by the Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Dr Adeyemi Dipeolu.

He said, “The range and scale of social and humanitarian interventions undertaken by Rotary International worldwide based on the contributions and efforts of his members, coupled with the amount of resources and manpower that Rotary International and his districts and members give to worthy causes is commendable and worthy of emulation by other social clubs, and nongovernmental organisations, as it gives true meaning to the word altruism.”
