Rotary International President-elect, Olayinka Hakeem Babalola, has reaffirmed the global service organisation’s commitment to eradicating polio, insisting that financial challenges confronting health interventions worldwide would not derail efforts to rid the world of the disease.
Speaking during his address to Rotarians ahead of formally assuming office as President of Rotary International, Babalola declared that Rotary would remain steadfast in its decades-long campaign against polio until the disease is completely eradicated.
“We must keep our most important commitment: We will eradicate polio,” he said.
