The one-day Rotary Club Ikeja leadership training exposed the young participants to practical lessons on Rotary, leadership, effective club management, project planning and execution, teamwork and responsible citizenship.
The programme was designed to equip the students with practical skills that can help them contribute meaningfully to their clubs, schools and wider communities.
Speaking at the training, the Vice President of the Rotary Club of Ikeja, Rotarian Osato Osawaye, urged the young participants to nurture their passion and ambition from an early age.
Osawaye challenged the Interactors to keep their “fire in the belly” burning through every stage of life, stressing that passion, purpose and determination were essential qualities for sustained leadership.
The club’s Youth Service Chair, Rotarian Titi Akintan, encouraged the participants to regard leadership as a continuous journey rather than a position.
Akintan urged the Interactors to progress from being ordinary members to active participants and, ultimately, change-makers capable of creating positive impact wherever they find themselves.
The training was themed “Sharing Knowledge, Igniting Purpose and Shaping Value”, reflecting the organisers’ emphasis on developing young people who can combine leadership with service and responsible citizenship.
The programme also supported Rotary’s Youth Service objectives while advancing its areas of focus on Basic Education and Literacy and Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention.
Through discussions and practical sessions, the participants were encouraged to understand the importance of teamwork, responsible decision-making and effective planning when undertaking projects within their schools and communities.
The organisers said the initiative was intended not only to strengthen Interact Clubs but also to help young people develop the confidence and skills required to address challenges around them.
The event brought together Rotary and Rotaract leaders, including Rotarian Bukunola Solle-Balogun, District 9112 District Chair for New Club Development; Rotarian Emeka Metus, District 9111 Interact Chair; Rotaractor Anjorin Olorunju; and Rotarian Bola Bido.
The participation of the district representatives further underscored the importance attached to youth development within the Rotary family.
For the 60 Interactors, the programme offered an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and gain a deeper understanding of leadership as a responsibility anchored in service, teamwork and positive community impact.

The Rotary Club of Ikeja’s initiative reinforces the role of youth-focused programmes in preparing young people to take on leadership responsibilities and contribute constructively to society.
Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.
Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.
Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.
The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.
For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.
Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.
In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.
And as the lights of Paris dimmed on another fashionable season, her appearance left behind the unmistakable impression of a woman who understands that fashion, at its most powerful, is as much about presence as it is about clothes.
