LEO Emmanuel Oladokun was on Sunday officially installed as the 12th president of Leo District 404 B2 at the prestigious Aotel Hotel, Ikeja..

Passing on the mantle of leadership, immediate past president Leo Kayode Ayodele expressed gratitude to members of the District for their unwavering support during his tenure.

“Without you, my success in office wouldn’t have been possible. Today, I officially hand over the leadership mantle while also giving an account of my stewardship in office,” he said.

Ayodele highlighted key achievements during his tenure, including participation in the Joint District Convention in Kwara State and hosting the Multiple District Convention in Osogbo, Osun State, which recorded the highest attendance. His administration also spearheaded impactful service projects such as World Hepatitis Day at Pen Cinema, Agege; World Environment Day at Ojuwoye Market, Mushin; and World Diabetes Day in Mushin. Other initiatives included virtual programs for Valentine’s Day and International Leo Day, as well as public awareness campaigns for breastfeeding week. A major highlight was the Legacy Project — the refurbishment and commissioning of a borehole at Iju community in Ondo State.

In his acceptance speech, Oladokun expressed deep appreciation to all who supported his journey in Lionism.

“The journey to this moment has demanded countless sacrifices. What we celebrate today is the product of dedication and commitment from many individuals. I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed in one way or the other,” he said.

Unveiling his agenda, the new president announced this year’s theme as “Innovative Leadership, Service Beyond Self.” According to him, the theme underscores the District’s mission to empower members with skills and opportunities while driving community service that transcends personal interests.

He also revealed his Legacy Project — the construction of a modern classroom block at Itaji Community Grammar School in Ekiti State, to provide better learning conditions for students.

“With your support, we can change this story while continuing our quarterly community service projects,” Oladokun added.

The installation ceremony was attended by members of the Leo Club and prominent Lions Club leaders, including Lion Tolulope Senbanjo, immediate past District Governor; Lion Oluwakemi Eribake, District Governor of District 404 B2 Nigeria; and Lion Sanya Ademuyiwa, Leo Program Chairperson, among others.

The dignitaries urged the new president to uphold diligence and selfless service, aligning with the vision of the global Lions Club International.
