Reports reaching Glow FM indicate that lion (Pharm) Adebowale Afolayan District Governor, 404B-4 Nigeria presenting the charter certificate to Abeokuta Premium Lions Club Charter President, Lion Shafih Adeyemi Amusa
Lions Clubs International, District 404B-4, Nigeria, has called for increased humanitarian engagement across the country, pledging to scale up health and community interventions, particularly in underserved areas.
The District Governor, Adebowale Afolayan, made the call via a communiqué on Thursday during the investiture and charter presentation of the Abeokuta Premium Lions Club.
Afolayan described the expansion of Lions Clubs as a strategic step toward reaching underserved communities and delivering people-centred services.
He noted that the organisation had recorded significant milestones in the health sector, including the construction of a 20-room accommodation facility at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, and the establishment of a 15-point dialysis centre at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
“Our work is guided by a simple but powerful mission—service to humanity. We have made it a priority to focus on underserved communities, as the social well-being of rural dwellers must be given adequate attention,” he mentioned.
He added that the organisation remained committed to making a measurable impact in Nigeria and invited well-meaning individuals to partner with it to reach more people.
Afolayan stressed that humanitarian development requires collective responsibility, noting that even modest contributions could produce lasting change.
He expressed optimism that the newly chartered club would strengthen the Lions’ capacity to respond to community needs, particularly in healthcare, youth development, and social welfare.
In his acceptance speech, the Charter President of the Abeokuta Premium Lions Club, Shafih Amusa, reaffirmed the club’s commitment to service and collaboration with public institutions.
“Service to humanity remains the heartbeat of Lions Clubs International. With a clear agenda and structured programmes, we are poised to support government initiatives and drive sustainable community development,” Amusa noted.
He called for stronger synergy between government and humanitarian organisations, noting that meaningful progress is best achieved through partnership.
Amusa also appealed to public authorities to prioritise citizens’ welfare by addressing unemployment, ensuring prompt payment of pensions, and investing in social safety nets.
“When we work together, we can build a safer and more inclusive society. That is the path to a brighter Nigeria,” he added.
