Rotary Club of Agbara
About Us

Four decades of showing up.

Chartered on April 2, 1985 by the Rotary Club of Badagry, we started as a small group of professionals from Agbara's industrial and residential community. Four decades later, we're still showing up — for our members and for the neighborhoods we serve.
