2nd July 2025 will forever remain a remarkable day in the history of our dear club, the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Airfield.
In our usual display of elegance and tradition, we witnessed a seamless exchange of leadership as the Immediate Past President, Rtn. Prof. Sab Ngah graciously handed over the mantle of leadership to Rtn. Engr. Femi Aderinola. It was a glamorous and well-attended event, graced by several club presidents and dignitaries across the district. Most notably, we were honoured by the presence of our own District Governor, Rtn. Anthony Wogheren, who coincidentally is a proud member of our club.
A major highlight of the day was the presentation of awards to deserving members whose outstanding contributions have driven the club’s continued growth and excellence. The Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Airfield remains the pride of District 9141, widely celebrated for impactful projects that cut across the seven areas of Rotary focus.
As we step into this new Rotary year with the theme “Unite for Good,” I extend a heartfelt invitation to you:
Join us. Let us serve humanity together ,with your time, talent, and treasure.
Let’s Unite for Good through Rotary!

The Annual Retreat of the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Airfield
-13/07/2025
From July 11th to 13th, 2025, the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Airfield held its Annual Retreat at Campgee Hotels, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The retreat served as a strategic session aimed at refocusing the club’s mission and aligning activities with Rotary’s Seven Areas of Focus.
The tour was brought to life by the exceptional Mr. Ime, a guide whose passion and storytelling captivated everyone. From walking backwards to maintain eye contact, to sharing the history of ancient trees and the legendary 200-year-old boat used by King Jaja of Opobo, every moment was packed with insight and inspiration.
This retreat not only strengthened fellowship within the club but also served as a reminder of Nigeria’s rich yet underutilized tourism potential.

The banner presentation served as both a celebration of leadership and a reminder of the club’s pivotal role in shaping Rotary’s direction across the district this year. Members welcomed the occasion with excitement, as cameras clicked and applause filled the room.

The Rotary Club of Port Harcourt Airfield takes pride in its numerical strength and in the fact that it is home to the current District Governor, Rtn. Anthony Woghiren.
Yesterday, we held our monthly Fun Fellowship, a tradition observed every last Wednesday of the month. True to its name, it was indeed a fun-filled evening! We were honoured by the presence of the District Governor himself, despite his tight schedule — a gesture that speaks volumes of his commitment and support.
