Accra (Greater Accra) 8th July ’99
A new governor for District 9100 of the Rotary Club was sworn into office in Accra on Wednesday.
Mr Adotei Brown, a Ghanaian, took over from Mr Hilaire Locoh-Donou of Togo.
Mr Brown will be in charge of 14 West African countries, including Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Sierra Lone, Liberia and Senegal that constitute District 9100.
He pledged to build on what his predecessors and said this requires ” a great and meaningful change in the attitude of all Rotarians”.
He said Rotary International has initiated a three-year research project at the cost of 500,000 dollars in Ghana, Togo and Benin on methods of grain storage.
Mr Brown said the research would help establish the levels of fungi growth during the storage and how to reduce it.
He thanked Rotary International for the honour done him and praised governments of the sub-region for supporting the work of the Club.
Mr Locoh-Donou also thanked Rotarians for supporting him and his team of officers during his tenure.
He later presented membership development awards to the Tema and Accra East Rotary Clubs.
