The immediate past president of the Nigerian Council of Engineers, Engineer Alade Ajibola has been elected National President of the prestigious Family Club of Nigeria Incorporated.
At a keenly contested General Elections, Chief Alade Ajibola, the Agbaakin of Ile-Ife won a convincing victory along with Chief Mrs Asake Lasaki as Vice President; Pharmacist [Mrs] Mojisola Osonubi as Socials Officer; Dr [Mrs] Omolara Smith as Welfare Officer; and Chief [Mrs] Kehinde Amole as Treasurer.

In his acceptance Speech, Chief Alade Ajibola thanked all the members of the 36-year-old club for the confidence reposed in him with a promise that he would build on the progressive performance of his immediate predecessor, Professor Oluwole Osonubi. Ajibola also promised to improve on the financial and agro-allied investments of the socio-cultural association.
The Ibadan-based Family Club of Nigeria was founded in 1979 by 25 married and upwardly mobile couples of like-minds to promote marriage and family values and to inculcate in their children [who were admitted as junior members] Africa’s cherished culture of hard-work, honesty, integrity and respect for elders.
The Club, which has endowed Prizes and Awards in tertiary institutions across the country, engages in serious philanthropic and humanitarian projects. It also instituted the Nigerian Best Couple of The Year National Awards.
The Club boasts several Professors, Pharmacists, Engineers, Doctors, Bankers, Industrialists, Journalists, Accountants and other top professionals among its rank and file.
