In a year in which women in Rotary are breaking the glass ceiling, the club will be installing its first female President, Mrs Adebukunola Soile-Balogun. This Rotary year (July 1, 2022 to July 30, 2023), Rotary International produced Jennifer Jones as resident while Omotunde Lawson is the Governor of Rotary International District 9110, covering all clubs in Lagos and Ogun States.

The event will be presided over by Mr Bamidele Samuel Ajibare (well known as Bigsam), OmegaPro Management Executive. In March, Ajibare and his wife, Gift achieved the Black Diamond feat with Omegapro in what was described as a “record breaking feat”.
Oba Abdulrazaq Adesina Adenugba, the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State is the royal father of the day, while past assistant governor, Wale Adegbite is guest speaker.
