The Looja Odo-Iju in Osun State, His Royal Highness (HRM), Oba Engineer Adedoyin Adelekun, has urged the Rotary Club International not to deviate from its commitment to sustain and maintain its global standard towards providing humanitarian aid to the communities in Nigeria through the community leaders.
Oba Adelekun, who gave this charge at a sensitisation workshop tagged, “Image-ING Rotary” Projects and Press conference, held at the Rotary Club House, Iyaganku, Ibadan, pointed out that the Rotary humanitarian aid should always be directed at improving the living standard of the people.
