Rotary District 9112 has announced plans to allocate over N500m for humanitarian services in 2025, marking a significant milestone in the organisation’s 120-year history. According to Rotary International District 9112 Governor, Rotarian Femi Adenekan, the district has already invested over N200m in various humanitarian projects aimed at making a positive impact on local communities.

Speaking at a recent press conference in Lagos, Adenekan stated, “The next project we are going to do, we intend to spend about 200 to 300 million to erect a vocational centre, and we’ll continue to do more. So far, we’ve spent about 200 to 300 million on impacting our community.” He emphasised that the district aims to spend over N500m on humanitarian services in 2025, excluding individual club budgets.

Adenekan highlighted Rotary’s global impact, saying, “We have over 55,000 clubs and over 520 districts all over the world. Through this, Rotary has effectively contributed largely to the activities and the improvement of lives all over the world.” He noted that Rotary focuses on seven key areas, including peacebuilding and conflict prevention, disease prevention and treatment, maternal and child health, economic empowerment, environment, basic education, and literacy.

He added, “These are some of the areas we function as an organisation to impact the world and transform life for good.

The announcement was made during a week-long celebration marking Rotary’s 120th anniversary. Adenekan described the anniversary as “a wonderful experience for Rotarians all over the world,” saying, “Rotary has changed the surface of the world right from the first day it was consummated, as the impact of Rotary is felt all over the world in 200 countries and geographical locations.”

The past president and chair of the 120th-anniversary committee, Rotary District 9112, Gboyega Bade, announced plans for a world webinar to discuss “Rotary in world peace and security” as part of the anniversary celebrations. He explained that the purpose of the event is to celebrate a milestone of Rotary reaching 120 years of existence, which would be marked with a week-long series of events.

Adenekan called on the Federal Government to provide tax waivers to funding partner organizations, saying, “This will help get more support to boost humanitarian activities across the country.
