Newly installed District 9110 Governor, Rotary International Nigeria, Dr. Jide Akeredolu, has warned wealthy and privileged Nigerians against being victims of their wealth.

He urged them to invest in philanthropy and other ventures that would turn around the fortunes of others, the society and the nation.

Akeredolu listed Bill Gates, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Kessington Adebukunola Adebutu, among others, as exemplary role models whose contributions and support remain evergreen in people’s minds.
