The President of Rotary International Olayinka Hakeem Babalola has set as the theme for his presidential year 2026-2027

Be the Inspiration | Ole innostaja | En inspirationskälla

“I hope we all inspire each other to take action – to look at environmental issues, which affect health and well-being around the world, and do our best to help.”

Babalola is a lawyer and engineer with over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, including senior positions at Shell PLC. He founded Riviera Services Ltd., with a focus on oil and gas infrastructure, and Lead and Change Consulting, which provides executive coaching and advice on organizational performance.

His contributions extend beyond Rotary. Babalola supports The Rotary Foundation as a member of the Arch Klumph Society and is a named donor, serves as a trustee of ShelterBox UK, and is a board member of the Safe Blood Africa project. He has received several awards, including the Africa Centennial Heroes Award, the RI Service Above Self Award, and the Regional Service Award for a Polio-Free World.

Our own club will concentrate on activating our members and improving the public image of our club. We want to make Rotary’s achievements more visible. We will be more and more active towards youth and their families in order to support their growth towards an active and healthy adulthood.
