“Your mind shines brightest when you enlighten others; your heart, when you encourage others; your soul, when you elevate others; and your life, when you empower others.”
The above quote by the Canadian based philosopher and author, Matshona Dhliwayo could best described the mood last week when a popular society lady, Laide Lanre-Badmus was honoured by the Rotary Club of Ibadan-Oritamefa (Rotary International District 9125).
The award, tagged ‘Exemplary Role’, was presented to the highly resourceful Laide Lanre-Badmus during the 7th anniversary celebration of the Club.
According to Rotary Club of Ibadan-Oritamefa, the honour was bestowed on Laide Lanre-Badmus in recognition of her sterling contributions toward human and community development.
Other eminent personalities also awarded alongside Lanre-Badmus at the colorful event included the Orangun of Oke-Ila, HRH Oba Adedokun Abolarin; DIG Adeleye Olusola Oyebade; Prof.O.G. Arinola; Dr. Seyi Olasehinde and Richland Hotels.
Interestingly, this is the second recognition award for Laide Lanre-Badmus within a month. She was also honoured with Philantropy & Humanitarian Personality Award by the Oyo State Chapter of Asiwaju Women Co-operative Society (AWCS), in February this year.
The two awards, as well as several others to her credit, no doubt, are well deserved ones for Laide Lanre-Badmus, whose profile has consistently been on the rise and has convincingly paid her dues not only in business, but her private life and politics.
