The President of the Rotary Club of Abuja Maitama, Rtn. Rosemond Favour Uche has advised Interactors ( members of Interact Clubs- service clubs for young people ages 12–18 that are sponsored by Rotary International) to be selfless.
She also asked the Interactors to put service to the society above any gain.
She implored them to work peace wherever they may be because development thrives in a violence-free environment.
Rosemond gave the charge at a quiz and debate competition between the Interact clubs of J.S.S Dutse Alhaji 1 and Parliament School, Apo in Abuja.
“You are the future of Rotary International, I want to advise you to be selfless in whatever you do.
“You should know that until everyone is accommodated that there can be a just society. We don’t need divisions along ethnic or religious lines”, she said.
Rosemond pleaded with the young students to put service above any other pursuit.
She said: “You must put service above self. You should learn to serve the society to leave legacies instead of seeking personal gains.
“This is the main focus of Rotary International. We want a society where there will be a sense of belonging for all; we want a world where we will only serve and not expecting anything in return.”
The District Governor-elect, Dame Princess Joy Nky Okoro urged the Interactors to learn to be “good citizens. ”
