The investiture ceremony, held at Crest Hotel, Jos, brought together members of the club, guests, and other Rotary stakeholders who witnessed the formal handover of leadership and reaffirmed their commitment to the ideals of Rotary International.

The newly inaugurated President of the Rotary Club of Naraguta, ROTN Simi Simji Goshwe, has pledged to sustain the club’s humanitarian mission through projects that will directly improve the lives of vulnerable people across Plateau State.

She said Rotary remains a structured organisation guided by its seven areas of focus, stressing that her administration would build on the achievements of previous leaders through consistency and dedicated service.

“Rotary is very structured and well organised. What I’m going to do is remain consistent in carrying on the projects we need to do.”

Goshwe announced that her first major project would involve providing complete school uniforms, sandals, school bags and learning materials to 50 indigent pupils in public primary schools to encourage education and restore their confidence.

“We want these children who trek barefoot to school and wear tattered uniforms to be clothed and given a sense of confidence and dignity as they prepare for school resumption.”

She urged members not to be discouraged by the country’s economic challenges but to remain committed to Rotary’s ideals by contributing their time, talents and resources while seeking support from individuals and organisations with humanitarian interests.

“We have projects to execute every month throughout our one-year leadership, including healthcare, peacebuilding, women empowerment, support for widows, tree planting and capacity-building programmes. It is going to be a year packed with activities that will directly impact the people.”

A pioneer member of the Rotary Club of Naraguta, Alhaji Abdulaziz Haruna, has expressed confidence in the ability of the club’s new President, ROTN Simi Simji Goshwe, to deliver impactful leadership, noting that she had undergone the required Rotary training and was well prepared for the task ahead.

He urged her to build on the achievements of past presidents through hard work and dedication, saying, “I’m encouraging her to work hard because previous presidents have worked hard. She has attended the district training seminar, and I have no doubt in my mind that she will perform well.”

Major Donor, Mr. Lucky Aliyu Momoh, congratulated the newly inaugurated President of the Rotary Club of Naraguta, ROTN Simi Simji Goshwe, urging her to focus on projects that would positively impact lives and leave a lasting legacy. He wished her a successful tenure, expressing confidence that her achievements would continue to speak for her long after she leaves office.

Dr. Celestina Ogbeh commended the new President of the Rotary Club of Naraguta, ROTN Simi Simji Goshwe, describing her as a proactive and committed leader. She expressed confidence in Goshwe’s ability to deliver impactful projects, noting that her preparedness before assuming office was a clear indication that her tenure would be marked by meaningful achievements and lasting community impact.
