The inauguration ceremony, which saw a strong turnout of committee members, took place yesterday at The Rotary Centre in Ikeja, Lagos.
The event signifies a renewed emphasis on enhancing the visibility and effective communication of Rotary’s various projects and activities within the district.
A central highlight of the ceremony was the appointment of Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator (ARPIC) Ehi Braimah as the chairman of the Public Image (PI) Committee.
Alongside him, other dedicated committee members were officially sworn in, ready to commence their responsibilities aimed at further promoting the image and core values of Rotary International.
During his address at the inauguration, District Governor-elect (DGE) Adedoyin underscored the paramount importance of public image in advancing Rotary’s global mission and impact.
“The importance of Public Image cannot be over-emphasised, and Rotary International (RI) places a very high premium on our image because that is what we advertise to the world; that is who we are. And we just need to be conscious of whatever we do,” he stated.
DGE Adedoyin further stressed that all service-oriented activities shared with the public must consistently reflect Rotary’s enduring motto: Service Above Self.

And we just need to be conscious of whatever we do.” – Rotarian Lanre Adedoyin, Incoming District Governor of Rotary District 9112
He also highlighted the strategic significance of the various subcommittees operating under the Public Image umbrella, referring to them as the crucial “backbone” of the committee’s overall work.
According to a statement released by the committee’s secretary, Rotarian Victor Ojelabi, the newly appointed chairman, ARPIC Ehi Braimah, reaffirmed the committee’s unwavering commitment to conveying Rotary’s message with the utmost professionalism and integrity throughout the upcoming year.
Accepting his new leadership role, ARPIC Braimah expressed his sincere gratitude to the incoming Governor and pledged his dedication to leading a successful Public Image year for the district. “We are more than ready to ensure the Rotary year 2025/26 is a successful one,” ARPIC Braimah affirmed.
A significant aspect of the event was the introduction of Past Assistant Governors (PAGs) Kayode Aderinokun, Lanre Kasim, and John Senaya as Resource Advisers to provide valuable support and guidance to the committee.
Their inclusion, based on their extensive experience within Rotary, is expected to significantly enhance the smooth and effective execution of planned initiatives.
The newly inaugurated Public Image Committee comprises several vital subcommittees, each with a specific focus: Social Media/Website (led by Rotarian Oromena Osugo), Humanitarian Reporting Awards (led by Assistant Governor Isichei Osamgbi), Rotary Day of Service (led by Rotarian Past President Kemi Folorunsho), Editorial Committee (led by Rotarian Muyiwa Akintunde), and Global Rotary Radio (led by Rotarian David Obadan).
These dedicated units will play integral roles in implementing the district’s comprehensive image strategy throughout the 2025/26 Rotary year.
As the 2025/26 Rotary year draws closer, the newly inaugurated Public Image Committee is poised to significantly strengthen the public face of Rotary District 9112, reinforcing the organisation’s enduring values and unwavering mission of service.
The Executive Governor of Zamfara State Dr Dauda Lawal has received the Outstanding Governor Award from the Daily Times in the North–West region during its centenary anniversary in Abuja.
The governor accepted the award today at the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards, organised by Nigeria’s oldest newspaper to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
Governor Lawal was recognised for his leadership, public service, and contribution to national development.
The award was part of activities celebrating the centenary of the newspaper, which was first published in 1926 and has chronicled Nigeria’s political, economic, social, and cultural progress over the past century.
Chairman of the DTN@100 Heroes Awards Council, Bolaji Okusaga, stated that Governor Lawal was chosen because he received the highest nominations in the North-West.
“Following an extensive nomination and public voting process, you received the highest number of votes in this award category.
“The Times Heroes Award Council and other key stakeholders subsequently confirmed your selection in recognition of your leadership, public service, and contribution to national development,” Mr. Okusaga said.
Governor Lawal expressed his gratitude to the Board, Management, and Organising Committee of the Daily Times Nigeria @100 Celebration, the Times Heroes Award Council, and all Nigerians who supported his nomination.
He stated that the honour reflects his commitment to promoting good governance and effective public service in Zamfara State.
Other notable Nigerians honoured include the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; and former President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina.
The newspaper announced that recipients of the DTN@100 Times Heroes Awards will be featured among the most outstanding individuals and institutions in the 700-page Nigerian Grand Book.
“This publication will serve as a national commemorative volume and a lasting record of the people, institutions, and achievements shaping Nigeria’s development.”
The foreword of the Nigerian Grand Book has been written by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Group Chief Executive of Oando Plc, Jubril Adewale Tinubu, has congratulated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 60th birthday, describing him as a distinguished public servant whose career has been defined by integrity, resilience and commitment to national service.
Tinubu, in a goodwill message issued on Wednesday, commended Shettima for his contributions to Nigeria’s development and his years of service in both the public and private sectors.
He said public service at the highest level requires sound judgment, resilience and the ability to remain focused amid the challenges associated with leadership.
“Happy 60th birthday, Your Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON.
“Public service at the highest levels in Nigeria is not a path for those in search of comfort. It demands sound judgement, resilience through challenging seasons, and the consistency to remain focused on the responsibility at hand,” Tinubu stated.
Reflecting on Shettima’s career, the Oando chief executive noted that the Vice President’s journey from banking to public administration had been marked by service and perseverance.
He particularly referenced Shettima’s tenure as governor of Borno State, describing his leadership of the state during difficult years as an important phase of his public career.
“From a distinguished career in banking to leading Borno through some of the toughest years in its history, and now as Vice President of our country, yours has been a journey marked by service, excellence and perseverance,” he said.
Tinubu also prayed for the Vice President as he begins his seventh decade, wishing him good health, wisdom and strength to continue serving the country.
“On this day and ever more, may Allah grant you good health, wisdom, strength, and joy in the company of those you hold dear.
“I wish you every blessing and fulfilment in your service to our great nation and its people,” he added.
