WORLD POLIO DAY – 24TH OCTOBER 2025
_End Polio Now - Because Every Child Deserves a Life Without Limit_
Today, 24th October 2025, the Rotary Club of Lugbe FHA Estate, Abuja, proudly joins the entire Rotary family across district 9127 and around the world to commemorate World Polio Day— a day dedicated to raising awareness and reaffirming our shared commitment to a world free of polio.
In a special message, the Club President, Engr. Rtn. Tunmise Adepoju, emphasized that Rotary’s long-standing fight against polio is a testament to humanity’s ability to unite for a common purpose. Through the relentless efforts of Rotarians, health workers, and global partners, polio cases have been reduced by over 99% worldwide. Yet, the mission continues until the last child is immunized and no community remains at risk.
The word "End Polio Now — Because Every Child Deserves a Life Without Limit,” captures the essence of Rotary’s vision — a world where every child can grow, dream, and thrive without the limitations caused by preventable diseases. Every vaccination is a step toward that promise.
The Rotary Club of Lugbe FHA Estate, in alignment with District 9127’s unified observance of World Polio Day, participated in activities that promote awareness, advocacy, and community action. Together, Rotarians across the district continue to amplify the call for support, funding, and collaboration to ensure the final victory over polio.
As we commemorate this global day, let us remember that ending polio is not just a Rotary goal but it is a humanitarian obligation. Together, through service and compassion, we can achieve a world where no child suffers from polio again.
