Asomugha bows out, urges selfless leadership and lasting peace

Lizzy Asomugha has officially concluded her two-year tenure as President of the Rotary Club of Abuja-Aso Golf, urging Rotarians and leaders to remain committed to peace, humanitarian service and selfless leadership.

Asomugha, who became the club’s fourth president in 2024, bowed out at a colourful valedictory event tagged “Night of Peace,” organised in collaboration with Citizens Advocate for Peace Is Possible (CAPIPIN). She will assume office as a Rotary Assistant Governor on July 1.

Reflecting on her stewardship, Asomugha said she hoped to be remembered for her dedication to serving humanity, stressing that Rotary leadership requires humility, patience and sacrifice.

“It takes tolerance because you are leading volunteers, not employees. You must inspire people through service,” she said.

She advised incoming President Mark Matesun to lead with humility and focus on making meaningful impact rather than pursuing titles.

“I accepted the responsibility wholeheartedly and gave it everything. I want to be remembered for excellent service to humanity. That remains my greatest fulfilment,” she said.

Asomugha, a former lady captain of IBB golf and country club described Rotary as a global platform that fosters friendship and humanitarian service, adding that peace remains the cornerstone of sustainable development.

“Peace is possible. When communities live peacefully, everyone benefits from development and prosperity,” she said.

She also commended the Nigeria Police Force for supporting peace initiatives during the recent Ekiti governorship election.

Matesun pledged to consolidate the gains of the outgoing administration by expanding humanitarian projects and strengthening members’ participation.

The event attracted prominent dignitaries, including former Inspector-General of Police Mike Okiro, former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, diplomats, senior police officers, Rotarians and members of the IBB International Golf and Country Club, where Asomugha received a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of her impactful leadership.
