Royalty Club unveils bold vision for health, youth development

Babatunde Alimi, the new President of the Royalty Club of Egbaland, has pledged the association's dedication to positively impacting Nigerian lives through healthcare interventions and sports development. Alimi highlighted the club's longstanding contributions, including free medical outreaches, provision of drugs, referrals to higher healthcare facilities, and free surgical procedures.

The organization has also actively promoted squash in Nigeria. Initiatives like the Ake Palace Squash Clinic for youths and a new Youth Squash Academy, developed in partnership with the Ogun State Squash Association and the Nigerian Squash Federation, aim to nurture young talent and enhance Nigeria's standing in international competitions.

Founded 19 years ago, the Royalty Club of Egbaland's mission is to advance social, economic, cultural, and sporting development in Nigeria, in line with the vision of the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo. Alimi, who succeeds Tunde Aregbesola, brings extensive professional experience from the oil and gas, fast-moving consumer goods, and telecommunications sectors.

Over the years, we have organised free medical outreaches for people, provided free medication and referrals to secondary and tertiary health facilities to restore their health. We have also conducted free surgeries and contributed to the growth of squash in Nigeria through youth involvement.
