\u201cThe Lagos Country Club is far more than a social space; it is a vibrant ecosystem of over 3,000 members who represent the pinnacle of the Nigerian elite and the engine room of our professional landscape,\u201d Adewunmi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
He outlined key priorities for 2026, with a strong focus on infrastructural renewal and improving the overall member experience. Central to the vision is the proposed Youth and E Section (YES), a modern facility designed to engage younger members through technology and contemporary recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adewunmi appealed for support from the Lagos State Government, noting that the YES Project aligns with broader goals of youth empowerment and long-term institutional sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Are Kolawole Oyefeso, commended the current leadership for sustaining the Club\u2019s high standards and urged new members to protect its legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are Kola Oyefeso, Chairman Board of Trustees, Mr. Seyi Adewunmi, Hon.

You must continue to build on the legacy you inherit,\u201d Oyefeso advised.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Representing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, drew parallels between the resilience of the Club and the spirit of Lagos State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He noted that, like the LCC, Lagos faced serious challenges in 2025, including the Great Nigeria Insurance House fire and a tragic maritime accident, but rebounded with strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLagos has an uncommon ability to bounce back. That same can-do spirit is what defines the Lagos Country Club,\u201d Omotoso said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n He highlighted the state\u2019s recent tourism boom and success in hosting global events, urging members to continue to see the Club as a symbol of unity, harmony and endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major highlight of the evening was the presentation of Special Awards to former Management Council members for their selfless service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a standout moment, the 2025 Resource Person Award was presented to Mr. Segun Shonubi, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee, for his strategic communication efforts that significantly boosted the Club\u2019s brand visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The night ended with lively entertainment, networking and formal toasts to the Lagos Country Club, Lagos State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, setting the tone for a vibrant and prosperous 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lagos Country Club (LCC) has kicked off the New Year in grand style, hosting a glittering New Year Party that combined elegance, tradition and a forward-looking vision for 2026.
