Alobo-Bakare has successful­ly etched his name in the sand of times. But he is the kind of man who makes no noise about his success.

Those whose paths have crossed his in the past will attest to the fact that he has a charming character and uncommon leadership qualities. His leadership quality is born though, it oozes out effortless­ly.

Perhaps this is what some of his co-members have noticed in him and persuaded him to lead the prestigiou­s Lagos Island Club in the next dispensati­on.

As revealed, the businessma­n is not just a member, but part of the club’s history. He has been a member of the club for over 32 years and has seen it grow, and evolve and the challenges that they have overcome together as a community.

His experience­s have equipped him with a deep understand­ing of the complexiti­es of leadership, but also with a profound respect for the values that bind them all at one of the most exalted social clubs in the country.

Society Watch gathered that AloboBakar­e’s vision for the club when elected as chairman includes fostering a sense of community, enhancing members’ engagement, and ensuring the sustainabi­lity of the Island club for future generation­s.
