The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun will be leading eminent personalities including the former Governor of Ondo state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, First Lady of Kebbi State, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris and renowned industrialist, Otunba Kazeem Odeyeyiwa, to the installation of Rotarian (Prince) Henry Olubowale Akinyele as the District Governor of Rotary International District 9111 for the 2025-2026 Rotary Year.

Other personalities expected at the event are the Ekii of Ifore, Ondo West Local Government, His Royal Highness, Oba Raymond Akinyele as well as the Doyen of all Districts in Nigeria, Past District Governor, Prince Julius Adewale Adelusi-Adeluyi.

According to a press release signed by the Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee of the installation, Rotarian Segun Adebowale, the installation which is scheduled to take place Sunday, July 13, 2025 at the Victoria Garden Event Center, Alausa, Ikeja will also witness the conferment of Humanitarian Service awards on five personalities, namely Hajiya Nasir Idris, Minister of Interior, Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, Media Mogul, Prince Bisi Olatilo as well as well-known philanthropists, Hakeem Oyeneyin, Wale Adegbite and Tola Awosika.

While describing the installation aptly tagged ‘Royal Installation’ as a special moment for him, Rotarian Akinyele said he was deeply honored and truly excited to serve as the second District Governor of Rotary International, District 9111.

He added, “I am deeply honoured that my installation is being referred to as a Royal Installation. While that was not entirely my personal idea, a dedicated committee planning the event chose this theme.

“I come from a royal lineage – I am a direct prince. The choice of the word “Royal” for this event, however, goes beyond title or heritage. To me, it represents an aspiration for elegance, sophistication, and grandeur in the way the installation is presented.

“I believe our guests will experience something far beyond the typical district governor installation. This event is being thoughtfully designed to be both impactful and reflective of Rotary’s core values. It promises to be a memorable and significant occasion for all involved.”

    FAAN Urges Early Arrival as Airport Terminal Reconstruction Begins

    Chinedu Eze

    The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has urged passengers travelling out of the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos come to the airport early as there could be delays, as the reconstruction of the planned international terminal has started.
     
    In a travel advisory issued by FAAN yesterday, the agency advised passengers to allow more time for their trips because processing them may take longer time so they should arrive early to the airport.
    “To ensure a smooth travel experience, we kindly request that passengers leave early for the airport to avoid missing flights, obey all traffic instructions to aid traffic flow, park vehicles properly in designated car park areas,” the agency said.
    FAAN also urged that only travellers come to the airport during the reconstruction period due to limited space. 
    “We appreciate your cooperation and understanding,” it added.
    The reconstruction will entail the pulling down of existing terminal facilities and comprehensive rebuilding of the structure to modern, state-of-the-art edifice.
     
    It is a capital-intensive project that will cost about N712 billion as already budgeted and approved by the federal government.
     
    The project will also correct the technical mistakes in the new terminal, where departing and arriving passengers use the same access way; so, a provision was made for the construction of a road that will go up to departure level to enable passengers travelling out of the country to arrive at the departures floor which is upstairs instead of arriving at the ground floor and mixing up with arriving passengers.
     
    On August 1, 2025, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved about N712 billion for the full rehabilitation, upgrade and modernisation of MMIA’s terminal one (the old terminal).
    The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, said the Lagos project would “strip the terminal down to its basic structure and rebuild all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems” and the project is billed to be completed in 22 months.
