Sustain Your Humanitarian Services, GM Tasks Rotary
The General Manager of the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, Chief Ernest Chinwo, has called on Rotary Club International to sustain its humanitarian activities for the overall good of the society.
Chief Chinwo said this during a courtesy call in his office by some officials of the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt District 9141.
He said the club was renowned for the fight against polio, noting that through the club’s efforts, Nigeria was declared polio free.
Chinwo said the club must not rest on its oars, but must work to ensure that children were continuously immunized to check further spread of the polio pandemic.
The General Manager, who also thanked the club for its effort in checking the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, stressed the need for Nigerians to obey all Covid-19 protocols in order to keep away the virus.
He pledged the corporation’s readiness to assist the club in the area of publicity.
Earlier, President of the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt District 9141, Rotarian Adeolu Okanlanwon, said the visit was to familiarise the new leadership of the club with the new management of the corporation.
Okanlanwon listed some activities of the club within the last one year to include peace building programme through a summit attended by over 300 youths training of over 200 widows of police officers, polio eradication campaign and building of a wash station at Rumuepirikom health centre.
The rest are, taking message of peace round the communities, fund raising for Rotary Foundation, commissioning of classroom blocks at Oginigba Community School and assistance to persons with disabilities.
Okanlanwon described the visit as unique as it coincided with the club’s 116th anniversary, adding that the club needs more partnership to do more for humanity.
Meanwhile, the General Manager of the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation, Chief Ernest Chinwo, has charged the new state executive of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) to hit the ground running and make a difference in the association.
Chinwo, who gave the charge during a thank you visit by the new executive of the association also charged them not to allow their new positions to affect their professional duties.
According to him, their new positions should help them to build more connections with a view to enhancing their professional competence.
While congratulating them on their victories, he said the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation will assist the new NAWOJ executive to succeed in their new assignment.
Earlier, the new Chairperson of the association, Mrs Susan Serekara Nwikhana said the visit was to thank the general manager for his support.
