The Rotary Club of Ibadan is set to give the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) clinic, located within the Broadcasting House, Dugbe, Ibadan, a facelift.
The move is part of the club’s philanthropic efforts aimed at supporting communities and public institutions.
During an inspection tour of the facility, the Past Assistant Governor of Rotary International, Dr. Abiola Ogunbanwo, said the rehabilitation, when completed, would benefit staff of the station and residents in the surrounding area.
Dr Ogunbanwo, a Charter President of Akobo Rotary Club, noted that the project would also help correct misconceptions about Rotary Club.
The President of Rotary Club of Ibadan, Mr. Olufisayo Ogunbiyi, explained that the clinic project falls within the club’s core focus areas, adding that it is a voluntary initiative funded through contributions from members.
Mr Ogunbiyi said the club, established in 1961, currently has 21 clubs in Zone One.
Responding, the Zonal Director, FRCN Ibadan Zonal Station, Mr. Olufemi Fulani, expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting that the health and well-being of workers remain a priority.
Mr Fulani described the facelift as significant, considering the large workforce of the station, and added that the collaboration with the Rotary Club was timely, as the upgraded clinic would enhance regular medical check-ups for staff.
The inspection also afforded Rotary Club leaders the opportunity to assess both consumable and non-consumable items required to improve the facility.
