President’s Address

It is an honour to welcome you to JCI Ibadan Elite.

I joined JCI in 2009 as an undergraduate student of JCI OAU majorly to boost my CV and get background knowledge of the outside world, but my life became better for it. Beyond learning what I needed to get a job, I learnt what I need to make a life or two or 1000 better.

What resonates with me the most as a Jaycee is the many stories of changed lives who come into JCI and end up a much better version of themselves. What do we gain as Jaycees? I say we gain SERVICE. We gain experience, we gain trust, we gain a better way of doing things. We gain BROTHERHOOD.

It is my belief that the world will be a better place if we all come together and serve one another, if we will treat our neighbours with respect and honour, if we will leave every space we occupy better than we met it, if the goal is to make impact rather than to make fame.

So in 2020, as members of JCI Ibadan Elite, our friends and guests, I implore you to join us in this journey of not just discovering for ourselves but also helping our environment DISCOVER EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE by living the true virtues of a Jaycee.

Thank you.
