The Beneficial Icons Club recently convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the prestigious Equity Resort in Ijebu-Ode, South-West Nigeria. The event, with the theme: ‘Iconic Evolution: United against threats and enhancing collective security’ was marked by insightful discussions on the club’s future and the election of a new Executive Council.
Club President, Mr. Maxwell Fagbemi, was re-elected for another two-year term, demonstrating the confidence and trust placed in his leadership. Other elected members include Obinna Ubanekwo as Vice President, Martin Ekpeke as Secretary General, Ahmed Salau as Financial Secretary, and Gbenga Badmus as Welfare/Provost Secretary.
In his post-AGM address, President Fagbemi expressed gratitude to club members for their continued support and emphasized the importance of collective effort to achieve the club’s vision and mission. He acknowledged the challenges and triumphs of the past year and outlined ambitious plans for the future.
“This is our fourth AGM, and we’ve made significant strides. We’ve overcome internal differences and emerged stronger. Our focus now is on realizing our full potential, and we’re excited about the future,” Fagbemi said.
One of the most significant projects on the horizon is the development of Icon Estates, a property that will house the club’s clubhouse and serve as a multi-purpose venue for relaxation, events, and social gatherings. This initiative aims to generate revenue and enhance the club’s overall offerings.
As the Beneficial Icons Club continues to grow and evolve, its members remain committed to fostering strong bonds, supporting one another, and making a positive impact on their community.
