Lions Club Unveils Agenda for New Service Year

Committed to fulfilling the objectives of its essence in the country, the district 404B2 of the Nigerian chapter of the Lions Club International has identified its initiatives for the new service year which will close cycle in June, 2018.

Speaking at a press conference organised in Lagos to herald in the new season, the District Governor, Lion Asiwaju Ayobola Samuel stated that the club under his administration was determined to make a positive and indelible mark. According to him, the district will be pursuing five key projects in the new year and these include engaging the youth through empowerment, advocacy and enlightenment; sight preservation, protection of the environment; relieving hunger and diabetes screening and awareness campaign.

The DG added that the district would give special attention to education and enlightenment on sickle cell anaemia to contain its devastating effects on Nigerians.

While he harped on impact and result, he said that to get the best of the set agenda, the district had entered into strategic partnership with relevant bodies to actualise the project.

He said, “On our mission to protect the environment, we are looking at planting 5000 trees while we have also opened talks with some relevant government agencies on other projects on which we can make a meaningful impact together. For the health projects, we have reached an agreement with Mercy Medical Mission in the United States of American, it will oversee the screening and treatment of visual impairment, provision of medications, eye glasses, cataract surgeries and dentistry. We are targeting and planning for 3000 people to benefit from this arrangement.

“We will also explore the possibility of forging partnership with some state governments to carry out innovations and supply of equipment to selected public schools. This is in line with my campaign promises and by God’s grace, we will fulfill them.”

Samuel who stated that the club had impacted 161 million souls across the globe, reiterated that the club was purely a service club established for the betterment of the society and not a cult group as being misconstrued by many.

According to the company, its wide range of products available in the market could be explored in the season to stay connected to events around the world and enjoy the summer holidays while at home and away.

While most people especially workers have embraced the idea of going on vacation to shrug off stress, rejuvenate and unwind, all aimed at self development and to increase productivity and guarantees steady career growth, this is not an excuse to be interrupted from other activities.

Managing Director, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. Taeick Son pointed out that the firm had designed life-changing and highly innovative products to bring about smart connection and safe world during summer and normal routine.

“The best time for relaxation is vacation and to help make it a worthwhile experience, we have a variety of smart products to help consumers stay safe and connected to their loved ones even while on holidays. Some of them include smart TVs, sound systems, pro beam laser projector, hom-bot cleaner, home appliances, etc.

“For instance the hom-bot vacuum cleaner has a unique feature known as the ‘ home view’; this allows for realtime monitoring and home guard which automatically sends photos whenever any movement is noticed. While the sound systems has a blue ray feature which enables consumers enjoy 3D disc movies in full HD 1080p, this will eventually support standard blu ray disc movies in high definition and upscale the DVDs to near HD quality without any form of interference. With a wireless broadband, the sound system can easily be connected to the internet with an in-built Wi-Fi. It is interesting to know that most smart home technologies are very simple to operate,” he explained.

For the cost-conscious individual who will prefer the stay-at-home vacation, the pro beam laser projector offers video content that can be paired with any Bluetooth audio device within reach. This would provide opportunities for relaxation, watch movies, enjoy local cuisine and hook up with any content of choice.
